The Light Inside Your Silence

The sun is coming up, and with it, the heavy silence of words you swallowed years ago. You thought speaking them would destroy everything, so you held them down until they became a weight in your chest.

But look at the morning. The light did not wait for you to be ready before it arrived.

It shines on the things you tried to hide. Thomas said if you bring forth what is within you, it will save you; if you do not, it will destroy you.

The thing you are carrying is not your enemy. It is the part of you that needs to breathe.

You do not have to shout it to the world today. You only have to stop pretending it isn't there.

The light is already inside the silence, waiting for you to let it out.
