The One You Needed
You, reading this,
you are the quiet miracle no one taught you to see.
You have walked through nights
that would have broken other people,
yet you kept your hands open
to whatever small light
was brave enough to stay.
You have been hurt
in ways you never named,
carrying storms
that no one else noticed,
and still you rise
with a softness the world
did not manage to take.
There is a strength in you
that does not shout.
It simply endures.
It simply continues.
It simply refuses
to let the dark decide
who you are.
And if you forget this tomorrow,
or the day after,
or any day after that,
remember this line:
you are the proof
that survival can be beautiful.
If this reached you, feel free to share it with someone who might need it.
