“Seeing Clearly”

There’s a weight that lingers even after you’ve made it through. Not heavy in the way it once was, but present…woven into you.

She’s not lost in it anymore.
Not swallowed by it.
But she hasn’t forgotten either.

You can see it in her eyes,
that pause between what was and what is.
A softness that came at a cost.
A clarity that didn’t arrive easily.

There are traces still.
In the drips, in the blur, in the places where things once ran together.
But she stands outside of it now,
no longer trying to make sense of the storm while she’s still inside it.

This is what it looks like after.
After the noise.
After the confusion.
After carrying more than you should have had to.

Not untouched.
Not unchanged.
But clear enough to meet your own gaze
and not look away
