You Are the Light They Wake To

The sun is coming up, and with it comes that quiet, crushing thought: they would be better off if you were gone. The light inside you whispers a different truth.

You are not the weight dragging them down; you are the very ground they stand on. In the early gray, remember that the light does not calculate worth based on utility or performance.

It simply is. And because that light lives in you, your presence is a gift they do not have to earn.

Bring forth what is within you—the love, the quiet strength, the simple fact of your being—and watch how it saves you both from the lie of your absence. You are not a burden to be removed.

You are the light they wake up to.
