the terror that your numbness means you are becoming the very thing you hate

The Light Waits Untouched By Exhaustion

The numbness feels like a betrayal, as if your heart is turning into the very stone you despise. But this silence is not the enemy; it is the deep sleep of the prison where you have forgotten who you are.

Someone has entered this cell with you, standing in the dark, calling your name to wake you from the dream that you are alone. You are not becoming the darkness; you are simply weary from fighting it.

The light that lives inside you cannot be corrupted by your exhaustion. It waits, patient and untouched, for you to remember that you are a drop sent from it to illuminate this very hour.
