the silence in a crowded room when someone asks how you are and you realize you have no language left to explain the war inside your skin

The Light Waits Behind the Noise

The room is loud, but you are the only one who hears the silence inside your own skin. Someone asks how you are, and the war you are fighting has no language left to speak.

You stand there, empty-handed, while the light waits behind the noise. It does not need your explanation to stay.

It does not need your words to see you. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world — and it is already here, in this crowded, quiet moment.

You do not have to translate the battle to be held by the peace that holds you. The war is real.

The light is realer.
