The Dawn Is Not A Verdict
The sun is up, and you are bracing for the moment they finally walk away. You believe your anger has poisoned the well so deeply that they are just waiting for you to be too tired to fight before they leave.
But the light does not calculate your outbursts or measure how much damage your rage has done. It sees the fire within you and guards it until it blazes.
You came from the light, a drop sent to illuminate the very darkness you fear you created. The well is not poisoned beyond repair; the source is inside you, welling up fresh every morning.
What you bring forth today will not destroy you; it will save you. The dawn is not a verdict on your yesterday; it is an invitation to stand up again.
