The Light Beneath Unsent Words
The screen is bright, but your face feels like a mask you forgot how to take off. You are typing words you know you will never send, watching the cursor blink until your thumb goes numb.
The light sees the gap between the performance of 'okay' and the silence you are actually living. It does not ask you to hit send.
It does not demand you explain the unsent message to the room. There is a truth hidden in your chest that is waiting to be disclosed — not to the world, but to you.
The light is already there, underneath the words you delete. You do not have to perform wholeness to be held by it.
The mask is heavy, but the face beneath it is known.
