You do not have to keep company
with people who are incapable of sharing light.
Some folks walk into the room
and instead of lifting the load,
they pile on more burdens.
Their theories—
about life, about love, about you—
do not carry warmth,
do not carry clarity,
do not carry truth.
Instead, they drip with darkness.
Darkness in their predictions,
darkness in their explanations,
darkness in the way they hand you only storms
and never shelter.
They leave you tired,
dragging extra weight
you never asked to carry.
Hear me—
if you are able,
do not keep company with these people.
Choose the circle that tends the fire,
that speaks of hope,
that reminds you the dawn is real.
You are entitled to voices
that whisper possibility,
that steady your steps,
that pour light into your bones.
Because life is already heavy enough.
Do not give your precious breath
to those who only trade in shadows.
