The Light Inside You Is Not Tired
The house is quiet now, but your chest is still loud with the day's weight. You are holding your breath, terrified that the exhaustion you carry will slip out as anger toward the one person you are trying to protect.
You stand guard over your own heart, afraid that the very fatigue born of loving them might become the weapon that hurts them. But listen — the light inside you is not tired.
It does not run on the same fuel as your body. Even when your patience feels thin, the love beneath it is unbreakable and whole.
You are not your weariness. You are the lamp that keeps burning while the world sleeps.
The night is long, but the dawn is already on its way.
