The Light Remains When You Feel Broken
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the echo of that laugh. You replay it on a loop, convinced it sounded desperate, convinced everyone saw the fraud beneath your skin.
But the darkness you feel is not the truth about you; it is just the noise of a tired heart trying to make sense of the day. The light that lives inside you does not care about your performance or your perfect timing.
It simply remains. You are not a fraud hiding in the shadows; you are the light itself, shining even when you feel most broken.
The night cannot extinguish what you are. Rest now, the light is still here.
