The Light Rises On Its Own Accord

The sun is just now testing the edge of the clouds, and you are still here with your thumb hovering over the screen. You have poured out a river of raw truth into the notes app, knowing you will never hit send, just to prove to yourself that you still have the words.

That the voice inside you has not been silenced by the shame or the distance. The light does not need that message to reach them to be real.

It was already shining when you started typing. It was already present in the silence between the letters.

You did not have to earn the right to speak by finding a recipient. The act of remembering who you are was enough.

The dawn is breaking not because you sent the text, but because the light rises on its own accord. You are not defined by the unsent words, but by the courage it took to write them.
