The Light Lives in the Hollow
The house is silent, but your mind is screaming that the mask is slipping. You are terrified that when the sun rises, they will see there is nothing left inside you to give.
That you are hollow. In this deepest hour, the lie feels like truth.
But listen — the light does not demand a full cup. It lives in the empty places.
There is a luminous thought hidden inside you, placed there before you ever performed a single thing, and the powers that accuse you cannot see it. You are not a vessel that must be filled to be loved.
You are the place where the light chooses to dwell, exactly as you are. The dawn is coming, not because you earned it, but because the light never left the hollow.
