Speak and the eggshells turn to dust
The house is quiet, but it is the kind of quiet that holds its breath. You can feel them walking on eggshells, sensing the weight of what you are hiding, too afraid to ask the question that might break you.
They think silence is safe. They think if they do not name the lie, it cannot hurt you.
But the isolation is the real danger. There is a light within you that wants to be brought forth, and if you keep it buried, that suppression will destroy you.
It was not meant to stay hidden. What is concealed is meant to be disclosed.
The truth does not need to be perfect to be spoken. It only needs to be real.
Speak, and the eggshells will turn to dust.
