There’s a light in my dreams that won’t turn off. Someone stands at the end of a long hallway made of brightness, calling me forward like they know my name. I start walking. Step by step, I follow the glow. Halfway there— I stop. Something holds me still like the air turned into hands. “Come on!” they call. “You’re running out of time!” But I can’t move. Because something in me knows— it isn’t my time yet.

I dont want to go yet.
There’s a light in my dreams that won’t turn off. Someone stands at the end of a long hallway made of brightness, calling me forward like they know my name. I start walking. Step by step, I follow the glow. Halfway there— I stop. Something holds me still like the air turned into hands. “Come on!” they call. “You’re running out of time!” But I can’t move. Because something in me knows— it isn’t my time yet.
I wanted the light, just didn’t know what it would cost.
