Stop Running From The Light Inside You

The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with a conversation that hasn't happened yet. You are rehearsing the apology, turning the words over until they feel like stones in your mouth, convincing yourself that the damage is already done before you've even spoken.

But the light does not live in your rehearsal. It lives in the truth you are afraid to say.

There is a voice that knows your name better than your fear knows your failure. It is not waiting for you to get the words perfect.

It is waiting for you to stop running from the moment. The darkness has not overcome it.

You do not have to fix the past tonight. You only have to be here, in this room, with the light that is already inside you.
