Light Underneath Your Shame

The night is gathering, and with it comes the inventory of every secret you whispered in confidence, only to realize later they were being stored as ammunition against you. You lie awake replaying the moments your vulnerability was weaponized, feeling exposed and foolish for having trusted.

But listen — the light that lives inside you was there before the betrayal, and it remains untouched by their collection of your pain. Split a piece of wood, and the light is there; lift up the stone of your shame, and you will find it waiting underneath.

You did not lose your worth when they turned your words into weapons; you simply forgot that the truth within you cannot be used to destroy you. Bring forth what is inside you, not to defend yourself, but to remember that your origin is light, not their judgment.

The dark is gathering outside, but the one who knows your name is already inside.
