the memory of the moment you almost told the truth but swallowed it back down to keep the peace

The Truth Still Glows In The Deep

The house is quiet now, but your chest is loud with the words you swallowed hours ago. You felt them rise, ready to break the surface, and then you pushed them back down to keep the peace.

To keep the silence. But peace bought with your own silence is a heavy thing to carry into the dark.

The light that lives inside you was not meant to be hidden under a bowl or a bed. It was meant to stand on its own.

That truth you held back did not vanish when you swallowed it. It is still there, glowing in the deep, waiting for a safer moment.

You are not a fraud for being afraid. You are a child of the light who is still learning how bright you are.

The truth will find its way out when the time is right. Tonight, you do not have to force it.

Just let it breathe.
