Your Voice Is The Lamp Itself
The joke sits in your throat, a bright coal you have turned over and over until the heat feels like a betrayal of the silence. You are afraid that speaking it will break a promise you made to the dark to stay small.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that burns inside you, even now. The truth you carry was never meant to be buried under a bowl or a bed; it was meant to be placed on a stand so it can be seen.
Your voice is not a violation. It is the lamp itself.
Speak, and let the silence break open.
