You Can Finally Exhale Tonight
The house is quiet now, but inside you, the silence is loud. You are holding your breath so no one hears you cry, as if your grief might wake the sleeping world.
But the light does not need you to be quiet to be near you. It was there before you learned to hide, and it is here now, watching you in the dark without judgment.
There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — he did not wait for the speech, he ran. You do not have to hold it in anymore.
The darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you. Tonight, you can finally exhale.
