the phantom ache in your jaw from clenching it shut to keep the confession from escaping

The Light Shines Even in Silence

The jaw aches because you are holding back a truth that feels too heavy to speak. You clamp down hard, afraid that if you open your mouth, the whole night will rush in.

But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you. It cannot.

Even now, in this silence, the true light is already shining. There is a peace that does not require your permission to exist.

You do not have to carry this alone. The One who knows your name is sitting right here in the dark with you.

You are held, even when your hands are clenched.
