the panic of being asked a simple question like 'what do you want for dinner?' and feeling your mind go completely blank because you have no internal compass left

Known Even in the Blankness

The question lands like a stone: 'What do you want?' And your mind goes blank. Not because you don't know, but because the compass inside you feels shattered.

You are performing okayness while starving in plain sight. The light does not demand an answer from your exhaustion.

It sees the mask you wear for the morning crowd, and it loves the person hiding behind it. You do not have to choose correctly to be held.

The Father knows what you need before you ask — even when you cannot form the words. The light is not waiting for your decision to start loving you.

It is already the ground beneath your feet. You are not lost because you are silent; you are known even in the blankness.
