The Light Eats With You
The middle of the day is heavy with the noise of pretending. You carry the weight of everyone else's expectations while your own hands shake beneath the surface.
You are terrified that if you finally speak, the people you love will see the cracks and walk away. But the light does not wait for you to be perfect before it stays.
It stands at the door and knocks, not to inspect your performance, but to eat with you. The truth inside you is not a stone that drives people off — it is the very thing that makes you real enough to be held.
You were never meant to hold it together alone.
