You Are Held, Not The Holder
The house is quiet, but your mind is screaming that if you stop holding it together, everything will shatter. You feel like the only pillar left standing in a room that is already collapsing.
But listen — the light does not ask you to be the roof. It does not demand that your silence be the glue.
There is a peace that is not like the world's peace, a stillness that holds the walls even when your hands let go. You are not the foundation; you are the one being held.
The terror says you must carry it all. The truth says the light carries you.
Lay down the weight you were never meant to hold.
