The Light Heavier Than The Night
The screen glows in the dark, showing faces you love, smiling over a meal you can no longer afford. You are rehearsing the words that will shatter the silence, tasting the ash of failure before you even speak.
The gathering dark feels like a verdict, closing in on every mistake until there is no air left to breathe. But listen — the light does not depend on your success to shine.
It was there before the loss, and it is here now, untouched by the crash. You are not defined by what you lost, but by the light that remains when everything else is gone.
The night is heavy, but the light is heavier.
