11. Lumerith Void - A Light That Doesn‘t Blind

I wake in the weight of it, walls breathing doubt in A chorus of voices that sounds like my skin They move in my mouth, every word bending thinLike I’m only a ghost of the state I’m still in Every failure pulling like thread through my chestEvery promise I buried refusing its rest I reach for the door but it opens inside To the war I’ve rehearsed, to the place that I hide It’s a light that doesn’t blind, doesn’t take, doesn’t tear Just a trace, just a shape I can almost bearThrough the noise, through the pull, through the ruin I find There’s a voice I can follow that isn’t unkind I built me a kingdom of fracture and flame Gave shape to the chaos, gave silence a name Sat high on a throne that was never the same As the version of me I was trying to claim Every mirror resisting the face that I wore Every truth like a knife I could not ignore And the more that I fought it, the further I sankInto echoes that fed on the fear that I drank It’s a light that doesn’t blind, doesn’t take, doesn’t tear Just a trace, just a shape I can almost bearThrough the noise, through the pull, through the ruin I find There’s a voice I can follow that isn’t unkind Then it came like a hush, like a break in the soundNot a light crashing in, just a pulse undergroundNot a blaze tearing through every fault that I found Just a shift, just a breath, barely turning me roundAnd it held me without ever asking for more Didn’t open me wide, didn’t settle the score Just enough of a spark in the dark of my mind Just enough to exist, not enough to go blind It’s a light that doesn’t blind, doesn’t take, doesn’t tear Just a trace, just a shape I can almost bearThrough the noise, through the pull, through the ruin I find There’s a voice I can follow that isn’t unkind If I lean into this, will it hollow me out? Or reveal something softer beneath all the doubt?I was never meant to silence the fight Just to loosen my grip and step into the light I am not undone, just redefined Not erased, just rearranged in time Every fracture finding form and line In a light that doesn’t blind I don’t need the fire to cleanse my skin Don’t need to crucify the mess within Just a quiet place to finally begin Without the weight of where I’ve been I FEEL IT IN THE VOID BREAKING OPEN, STILL ALIVE I was never meant to disappear Never meant to be consumed by fear If there’s a truth I’m learning here It’s that the end was never near DRAG ME THROUGH THE DARK I WILL BREATHE, I WILL BECOME And in the silence, something stays Not a storm, not a burning blaze Just a fragile, steady gaze That doesn’t turn my bones to haze NOT… BLIND NOT… BURNED STILL… HERE A light that doesn’t blind…is enough
