The Light Sees You When Screens Go Dark
The phone buzzes in your pocket, a ghost of connection, but when you check it, the screen is dark. No one saw you drowning.
No one noticed the silence beneath your smile. You walk through the morning wearing a face that says 'I am fine' while your chest feels like it is caving in.
The world wants your performance, not your pain. But the light does not need you to pretend.
It sees the mask, and it sees the person behind it. There is a truth living inside you that was there before the first lie you told to get through the day.
That truth is not hidden from the One who knows you. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
You do not have to vibrate to be real. You do not have to be noticed to be held.
The light sees you even when the screen is black.
