the terrifying moment of almost confessing your pain to someone who asks 'are you okay,' only to swallow the truth and say 'i'm fine' because you fear becoming a burden

The Light Sitting With You In Dark

The day is ending, and the question comes soft as dusk: 'Are you okay?' You feel the truth rise in your throat, heavy and sharp, ready to break the silence. But the fear of being too much, of becoming a weight someone else must carry, seals your lips.

You swallow the ache and say, 'I'm fine.' The room goes quiet again, but you are not alone in that silence. The light is standing at the door of your heart, not to demand entry, but to sit with you in the dark.

It does not run from your burden; it knocks gently, waiting for you to open even just a crack. You were never meant to carry the night by yourself.
