Your Light Is Not A Weapon
The phone lights up in the dark. A name you trust.
A question that feels like a hand reaching through the screen: are you okay? And your chest tightens because the truth feels too heavy to hand over.
It feels like giving them a live grenade. You worry that if you speak the real words, the connection will shatter.
But listen — the light that lives in you is not a weapon. It cannot explode.
It cannot hurt the one who loves you. There is a peace that does not look like having it all together.
There is a rest that begins exactly where your honesty ends. You do not have to protect them from your darkness.
The light is strong enough to hold both of you.
