the phantom vibration of your phone when you realize no one noticed you were drowning

The Light Does Not Need Notifications

The day ends, and the armor you wore to make it through finally hits the floor. You reach for your phone, feeling a ghost vibration against your leg—a hope that someone noticed you were drowning.

But the screen is dark. Silence.

In that quiet, the shame tries to whisper that you are invisible. But listen.

The light does not need a notification to find you. It has already come into your midst, not to check your status, but to restore you to your root.

You were never lost to the silence. The love that holds you is not waiting for a signal; it is already here, pressing down, shaken together, running over.
