You Are Not Your Worst Moment
The day ends, and the glass turns into a mirror. You catch your reflection in the dark window—the same face that spoke the words you now regret.
The sentence hangs in the air, but the face looking back is no longer the one who said it. Time has moved.
You have moved. The person in the glass is the one who survives the mistake.
The light does not demand you undo the past. It simply shines on the face that remains.
You are not the echo of your worst moment. You are the vessel holding the dawn.
