The Dawn Already Knows Your Pain
The sun is up, but your mouth is still rehearsing the words you need to say to prove a loss that no one else saw. You are building a case for a grief that feels invisible to everyone but you.
But the light does not need your defense. It saw the tear fall when the room was quiet.
It knows the weight you carried when everyone else said you were fine. You do not have to convince the dawn that you are hurting.
The light already knows. It is not waiting for your evidence; it is simply waiting for you to stop arguing and start breathing.
The sun rises whether you explain it or not. Your grief is real because the light sees it, not because the crowd believes it.
