The Light Runs Toward Your Broken Trust
The morning light hits the mask you wear, and for a moment, you forget how heavy it is to hold up. You trusted with everything you had, and now the silence feels like proof that you were wrong to believe.
But listen — the silence is not abandonment. It is the space where the real work happens, unseen.
There was a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off, covered in shame, expecting rejection. He ran.
Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light does not wait for you to be perfect again.
It runs toward the broken trust. You are not forgotten because the sky is quiet.
The light that lives inside you was there before the betrayal, and it is there now, holding the pieces of what you thought was lost. The mask can come down.
