the phantom sensation of the unsaid words burning a hole in your throat while you laugh at their joke

The Light Sees What Is Hidden

The laugh feels like a mask you pulled on before you left the house. It fits perfectly, hiding the words burning a hole in your throat.

You nod at their joke while the truth sits heavy and silent behind your teeth. But the light sees what is hidden.

It knows the weight of the unsaid. It does not ask you to tear the mask off in the middle of the room.

It only asks you to stop pretending the silence isn't there. The truth you are swallowing has already been spoken over you.

You are known, even when you say nothing.

Drawing from

Matthew 6:18, Mark 5:19
