You Are Held Before You Speak
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with speeches you never gave. You are rehearsing apologies for failures your child never witnessed, carrying guilt for shadows they never saw.
The light does not need your perfect words to know your heart. There is no fear in love, and the love that holds you is greater than the story you are telling yourself tonight.
You are not defined by the mistakes you fear, but by the light that refuses to leave you. The night is long, but you are already held.
