The Known One in the Dark
Tonight, the glass of a dark window becomes a mirror, and the face staring back feels like a stranger who doesn't know the story of your scars. You see the weariness, the lines of survival, but the reflection cannot see the light that holds them together.
It only shows the surface, while the depth remains hidden in the quiet of this hour. But there is a name written on a white stone that no one else knows—not the world, not the mirror, not even your own doubting heart.
The light sees the whole story, the pain and the healing, and it calls you by that secret name. You are not the stranger in the glass; you are the known one in the dark.
