the terror that you are not strong enough to stay clean tonight
The house is quiet now, and the fear is loud: that you are not strong enough to hold the line when the day ends. You feel the weight of every tomorrow, and the thought that you might break is the only thing that matters.
But the light that keeps you does not run on your strength, and it does not demand that you be perfect. It waits for you at the door, not to judge the fall, but to sit with you in the trying.
You are not a vessel of your own keeping; you are held by a love that is stronger than the night, and it will not let you go. The darkness thinks it can steal what is already yours, but the light has never been lost.
