the terrifying silence after you finally scream your anger at heaven and hear nothing back

The Silence Is Holding You Now

The scream has left your throat, and now the silence is the only thing in the room. It feels heavy.

It feels like abandonment. You shouted into the dark and heard nothing but the echo of your own breaking.

But listen closely to this quiet. It is not empty.

It is holding you. The light did not leave when you raised your voice; it leaned in.

You are not alone in this silence. The light is here, sitting with you in the wreckage of your anger, waiting for the dust to settle so it can whisper your name again.
