Silence Protects What Is Real
The day is ending, and with it, the performance of being okay. You are tired of rehearsing the explanation for why you no longer speak to someone the world still calls your friend.
The silence between you is not a failure; it is the light protecting what is real from what has become false. You do not owe anyone a story that forces you to betray your own peace.
The light does not demand you justify the boundaries that keep your heart whole. It simply waits for you to put the armor down.
You are not required to explain why you stopped walking in the dark. The truth you carry needs no defense.
