The Light That Never Looked Away

The house is quiet now, but your mind is replaying the tape. The exact second you realized no one stopped you.

The moment the silence proved your pain was either invisible or just inconvenient. You are lying there wondering if you screamed loud enough, or if you simply do not matter.

But listen — the light does not need a crowd to validate your suffering. It saw you when no one else did.

There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole world. That light was in the room with you.

It was not blind to your collapse. It did not find you inconvenient.

It found you essential. You are not waiting to be seen by the people who walked past.

You are being held by the One who never looked away. The night is long, but you are not alone in it.
