You Are Not the Author of This Pain
The day is ending, and the quiet brings the inventory you promised yourself you wouldn't do again. You are holding a weight that was never yours to carry, blaming your hands for a storm you did not create.
The light does not agree with your verdict. It sees the truth you are too tired to see: that you are not the author of this pain.
There is a name the light has for you that is not 'guilty,' known only in the silence between you and the divine. The darkness may gather, but it cannot rewrite what is already written in your soul.
You are safe to put the blame down tonight.
