Your Silence Is Not A Lie
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels heavy enough to crush you. You are lying here convinced that your stillness is a lie you are telling everyone you love.
You think if they knew the storm inside this quiet room, they would turn away. But the light does not require you to speak to be real.
It does not need your performance to know where you are. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever, deeper than any word you could say tonight.
The darkness has not overcome it. Your silence is not a wall; it is simply the space where the light waits for you to stop pretending.
You are not hiding from love; you are being held by it in the dark.
