The Light Holds Your Silence
The water runs loud enough to hide the tremor in your voice. You rehearse the sentence that could change everything, letting the steam carry the weight so you don't have to.
But the moment you step out and see them smiling in the kitchen, the words dissolve back into silence. You swallow the truth because the mask feels safer than the risk.
Yet the light does not need your performance to find you. It was there in the shower, waiting in the quiet space between the water and your fear.
And it is here now, not demanding the speech, but holding the silence you couldn't break. The sentence you couldn't speak is already known.
