Choosing Light in a Dark World

Silhouette figure glowing with inner light standing in darkness representing resilience and refusing to dim.
Refusing to Dim
The things once hidden
are now revealed.
The truth is ugly,
but it sets you free.
The world you thought you knew
was never what it seemed.
Many called truth a lie
until they saw
the ones meant to uphold the law
were the ones who broke it.
How do you move forward in a world overcast in darkness,
where light seems scarce
and flight seems the only way out?
You move forward anyway.
Not because the darkness lifts,
but because the light in you refuses to dim.
You plant your feet in truth,
even when it trembles beneath you,
and you choose courage
over escape.
