The Glow Coming Through Your Crack
The sun has gone down, and now the room is quiet enough to hear the echo. It plays on a loop—the exact second your voice cracked, and the way their eyes widened in fear.
You are replaying the moment you broke, convinced that the fracture is the only thing that is real. But listen.
The darkness gathers outside, yes, but it cannot extinguish what is burning inside. There is a light that shines in the dark, and the dark has not overcome it.
That moment of failure did not put the light out. It only proved that you are human, and that the light lives in fragile vessels.
The eyes that widened in fear saw a crack, but they did not see the glow coming through it. You are not the stumble.
You are the light that persists despite it.
