The Morning Star Rising Within
The sun has gone down, and the room is quiet enough for that one moment to replay. The time you swallowed your words.
The silence you chose when you should have spoken. It loops in the dark, a record skipping on the same painful groove.
But listen — the light does not scold you for the quiet. It stands at the door of your memory and knocks, waiting for you to let it in.
There is no darkness deep enough to extinguish what shines inside you now. The night is gathering, yes, but the morning star is already rising within your chest.
You are not defined by the words you withheld, but by the light that remains.
