The Light Already Fills the Room
Your hand freezes on the knob. The cold metal feels like an accusation, and the panic rises because you are certain you left the door open to the dark.
You brace for the punishment that comes with being careless, with being the one who forgets. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you.
It cannot break in, because the light is already here, filling the room, filling your chest. You are not being watched for failure.
You are being held in a peace that does not depend on your memory or your perfection. The fear says you are unsafe.
The truth says you are home.
