The Light Waits for You to Be Real
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the inventory of every lie you told to keep them close. You are still here, holding the weight of words that were not true, afraid that the truth would make you unlovable.
But listen — the light does not need your performance to stay in the room. It saw the father running before the son could finish his rehearsed speech.
The light was already there, before the apology, before the excuse. It does not wait for you to be perfect.
It waits for you to be real. The darkness has not overcome it.
And the truth is not a weapon aimed at your throat. It is the very thing that sets you free.
