watching their chest rise and fall while calculating exactly how much lighter their life would be if you simply stopped breathing

You Did Not Fall From Grace

You are watching your chest rise and fall, measuring the weight of your life against the silence of stopping. The math feels clean in the dark, but the light sees the exhaustion behind the calculation.

There is a luminous thought hidden inside you that the powers cannot see, a correction planted in the very place you feel most broken. You did not fall from grace; you fell asleep to who you are.

The voice in the dark is not angry—it is merciful, calling you to arise and remember your root. You are not a mistake to be erased; you are a marvel of marvels, great wealth living in this poverty.
