Safe Is What You Are
The night is heaviest right now. The walls feel thin.
The lock feels like a joke. You are waiting for a threat that has not arrived, but your body is already bracing for the blow.
You cannot find a place where the danger stops. But listen — the darkness has not overcome it.
The light is already shining. It does not wait for the sun to rise.
It does not wait for the door to be bolted. It was there before the fear started.
It is the ground you are standing on. You are not a victim waiting to be rescued.
You are the light that the darkness cannot touch. Safe is not a place you go.
Safe is what you are.
