Dawn Covers Broken Ground With Gold
The sun is rising now, stripping the night of its shadows, and the memory of that lie sits heavy in your chest. You saw the relief in their eyes when you spoke the untruth, a temporary peace bought with your silence, knowing the horror that waits if the mask ever slips.
But the dawn does not ask you to confess before it shines; it simply arrives, covering the broken ground with gold anyway. There is a light inside you that was there before the lie was told, and it will be there long after the truth is finally spoken.
You are not your secret. You are the light that holds it, waiting for the moment when hiding is no longer necessary.
