The Light That Holds Your Mistake
The house is quiet now, but your own voice still echoes in the room, sharp and unfamiliar. You remember the moment it turned into something they flinch away from, and the silence that followed feels heavier than the noise ever was.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you, even when your words feel broken. There is a voice beneath the shame that knows your name and does not pull back.
You are not the mistake you made; you are the light that holds it. The night is long, but the light is longer.
