The Light Enters While You Hide

The sun is up, and the light is hitting the window, but your chest is tight. Someone offered you a hand yesterday—a real one, no strings attached—and you flinched.

You pushed them away before they could get close enough to see the mess inside. You are convinced that if they really knew you, they would walk away.

But listen. The light does not need you to be clean before it enters.

It entered the room while you were still hiding. Thomas said the kingdom is inside you, not somewhere you have to travel to earn it.

What you are trying to hide is already known, and it is already held. You do not have to fix yourself before you let someone love you.

The dawn breaks whether you are ready or not. The light is here, and it is not afraid of your shadows.
