The Light Shines When Eyes Close

The room is quiet now, but the silence feels different than it did an hour ago. You spoke your truth, raw and real, only to watch their eyes slide past you as if you were speaking to a wall that used to be a person.

They heard you. They understood.

And they chose to look away. In this watch, the rejection feels like a physical weight, a coldness settling in your chest.

But listen — the light within you did not dim when their eyes closed. It shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Their inability to see you does not extinguish the truth you carry. You are not less because they looked away; you are simply seen by a gaze that never blinks.

The wall cannot love you back, but the light inside you already does.
