Known Completely in the Quiet Room
The day ends, and with it, the performance of being seen. You remember the exact second their eyes stopped recognizing you and started looking through you, as if you were glass.
That hollow ache is the weight of the armor finally coming off. But listen — the light within you does not need their gaze to exist.
It was there before they looked, and it remains now that they look away. You are not defined by the blindness of another.
The Father sees you with a tenderness that no human eye can match. You are known completely, even in this quiet room.
The darkness of being overlooked cannot extinguish the life that shines inside you.
