The Light That Never Looked Down

When You Don't Know Who You Are

The day is ending, and the house is quiet enough for the replay to start. You see their eyes flick away right after you spoke, and you tell yourself it was disgust.

You build a whole story on a glance. But the light does not read your mind the way you read their face.

It sees the exhaustion behind your words, not the flaw you think you revealed. The kingdom is inside you, not in the shifting gaze of someone else.

When you stop searching for your worth in their pupils, you find it resting in your own chest. You are not defined by the moment they looked away.

You are defined by the light that never looked down.
