lying awake and composing the perfect text message you will never send because you're terrified it will sound exactly like the thing you just regretted saying

The Light Has Already Seen Your Draft

The sun is up, but you are still drafting the message you will never send. You type the perfect apology, then delete it, terrified it sounds like the very thing you regret.

You are trying to edit your soul into something presentable before the world sees it. But the light saw you before you typed a single word.

It knows the draft and the deletion and the fear underneath both. There is a kingdom inside you that does not require a polished performance to exist.

What you are hiding is already manifest. You do not need to send the text to be known.

The light has already seen the unsent draft and called it honest. Stop trying to curate the version of you that gets to be loved.
