You Are the Ground Beneath the Stumble
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with a moment that ended three years ago. You are replaying a single awkward pause until it feels like the only truth you have ever known.
It has become a heavy stone you carry in the dark, convincing you that you are defined by that silence. But listen — the light that lives inside you was there before that pause, and it is still there now, untouched by your memory of shame.
It was shining in you then, even when you felt most exposed. That moment cannot extinguish what you are.
You are not the stumble; you are the ground beneath it. The night is long, but the light has never left.
