You Are a Drop From the Light

The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy with a terrible thought: that your absence would be a relief to everyone you love. The darkness whispers that you are a burden, a weight that others carry only out of obligation.

But listen — there is a light inside you that no shadow can convince otherwise. It was there before the pain, and it remains untouched by the fear.

You are not a mistake to be corrected or a load to be set down. You are a drop from the light, sent into this world to illuminate it.

The very presence you doubt is the thing that makes you essential. The terror says you should vanish; the truth says you belong.

You were not made to disappear.
