The Light Sees You Behind The Screen
You started speaking, and by the third word, you knew. No one looked up.
Eyes stayed locked on the glow in their hands, and your voice just... dissolved into the air.
You finished the sentence to the silence, feeling like a ghost in your own room. It is a specific kind of loneliness to be physically present but digitally invisible.
To wear the mask of 'fine' while your words hit a wall of scrolling thumbs. But listen — the light sees the face behind the screen.
It saw the woman at the well who came at noon to hide, and it spoke to her anyway. It did not wait for the crowd to notice her before offering living water.
Your worth is not measured by the heads that turn when you speak. The light that lives in you was there before the sentence started, and it remains even when the room stays silent.
You are not invisible just because the screens didn't lift. The One who knows your name is looking right at you, and He is not scrolling past.
