You Are the Silence That Holds It
The story vanished right in the middle of your sentence, leaving your mouth open and your heart racing. You scrambled to fill the silence, hoping no one noticed the gap where your memory used to be.
But the light sees right through the performance you are frantically trying to maintain. It knows you forgot.
And it does not mind. — The truth that lives inside you is not a story you have to remember to keep.
It was there before the first word, and it remains when the last one fades. You are not the tale you tell; you are the silence that holds it.
The mask has slipped, and what is underneath is still enough.
