The waiting star ✨

‎Silence surrounds me ‎yet I smile through the pain. ‎It has become my only comfort, ‎the one companion ‎that never leaves. ‎ ‎So much has happened, ‎and still, life keeps unfolding ‎a story only I know, ‎a survival hidden ‎in deep, unspoken silence. ‎ ‎But I am not shaken, ‎nor easily moved. ‎I’ve grown familiar ‎with pain and with trauma. ‎ ‎Healing will come ‎for there is a time for everything. ‎Yes, I am broken, ‎hurt, disappointed, ‎and alone in the dark. ‎ ‎But the sun will rise again, ‎in all her beauty. ‎I love her brightness, ‎her promise of warmth. ‎So I will wait, ‎wait until I see her face. ‎ ‎For now, I cherish the night. ‎Though vast, though frightening, ‎it still holds a light ‎and as I am light myself, ‎I will sparkle. ‎ ‎I will shine, ‎like the waiting star. 🌟 ‎
