The Light Remains When Words Are Gone
The cursor blinks. You type the truth of how alone you feel, then delete it.
Word by word. Until the screen is blank again.
In this deepest hour, the silence feels like a verdict. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you.
It cannot. Even when you erase every word, even when you feel invisible, the light remains.
Unbroken. Unearned.
Unlost. You are not your silence.
You are the light that shines within it.
