The Light Inside Your Unspoken Silence

The room went quiet after the laugh died out. They took the joke as the answer, so no one asked the real question hiding underneath it.

Now the silence is heavy, and you are alone with the thing you never actually said. In the deep watch of the night, the mask feels like it has fused to your skin.

But the light does not need your performance to find you. It is not waiting for the perfect words you didn't speak.

It is already inside the silence you are afraid of. The kingdom is not a destination you reach by explaining yourself correctly.

It is inside you, right now, in the unspoken ache. You do not have to bring forth a clever story to be known.

The light sees the truth behind the laugh, and it calls you by your real name.
