Dawn Does Not Ask Permission
The morning light is here, and with it comes the quiet fear that the kindness beside you is just pity waiting to run out. You watch them move through the house, wondering when the mask will slip, when they will realize you are too much to carry.
But the light that rises does not check your worth before it shines. It simply arrives.
The same light lives in the eyes that look at you with tenderness. It sees not a burden to be managed, but a beloved to be held.
You are not waiting for their patience to expire. You are standing in a love that has already chosen to stay.
The dawn does not ask permission to break the night; it just breaks. And so does this grace.
