stand in your own light

HomePoetrystand in your own light

Stand in your own light—
even when the lamps go out.

 

Carry your silence like a lantern,
not as a burden,
but as a map.

 

The world will tell you
to wait for rescue,
to lean on borrowed fire.
Smile, and keep walking.

 

Every step you take
is a small rebellion.
Every breath you claim
is proof you are enough.

 

Do not beg the tide
to turn in your favour—
learn its rhythm,
and row anyway.

 

Stand in your own light.
It will not blind you.
It will not leave you.
It will grow with you.

 

And when others gather,
drawn to the glow,
you will know:
you were never walking alone.

    2. “Every step you take

      I can’t even tell you how much I needed to read this. And that right there…I read 5 times. Brilliant piece! Welcome to the Stars!
