rehearsing the apology in your head while your mouth forms polite lies

The Light That Carries Your Lie

The day is done, and now the house is quiet enough to hear the rehearsal begin. You are practicing the apology in your head, word for word, while your mouth forms polite lies to the people right in front of you.

It is a heavy kind of exhaustion, carrying a truth you are too afraid to speak. But listen — the light does not need your perfect speech.

It stands at the door and knocks, not to demand entry, but to sit with you in the mess of your unspoken words. You do not have to fix the past tonight.

You only have to stop pretending the darkness is stronger than the truth living inside you. The lie is heavy, but the light is ready to carry it.
