You Are a Lamp Already Lit
The house is quiet now, and the only sound left is the drumming in your own chest. It feels less like a rhythm and more like a countdown.
A ticking bomb waiting to go off. You lie still, but the noise inside you is loud enough to wake the dead.
The darkness has not overcome it. That light is still there, beating underneath the fear.
It is not a threat. It is a presence.
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world, and it came into you. Before the panic, before the counting, before the night got this heavy — the light was already home.
You are not a bomb waiting to explode. You are a lamp that has forgotten it is lit.
