Lay Down the Heavy Armor
The day is finally ending, and the armor you wore to make it through feels heavier now than it did at sunrise. You held yourself together in public, smiling while fighting a war inside that no one else saw.
But here, in the quiet of your own room, the exhaustion hits all at once. You do not have to keep standing.
The light does not ask you to perform strength when you are empty. It simply waits for you to put the weight down.
There is a peace that comes not from winning the battle, but from finally stopping the fight. Let the silence hold you now.
