You Are the Light Silence Cannot Swallow
The silence right now feels like a verdict. As if the noise was the only thing holding you together, and without it, you would dissolve into nothing.
But listen — the darkness has not overcome it. The light was there before you started moving.
It was there before the fear began. You do not have to manufacture it.
You do not have to earn it by staying awake. It is simply there.
Waiting. Not a performance.
Not a task. Just presence.
The terror says you are empty. The truth says you are full.
Even here. Even now.
Especially now. You are not the silence.
You are the light that the silence cannot swallow.
