Today, I stood up for love.
I protected what mattered.
I honored my truth.

The storm rose, and I did not run.
I was fierce, and I was honest.
I gave a voice to the fire inside me.

And now…
The fire can cool.
The sky is clear. The night can hold me.

I do not need to carry the weight of this day into my dreams.
What needed to be said, has been said.
What needed to rise, has risen.
What needs to rest now — is me.

I am allowed to soften.
I am allowed to breathe.
I am allowed to feel peace again.

My body knows how to heal.
My heart knows how to settle.
My spirit knows how to return to calm.

I am not my anger.
I am the love that moved beneath it.
I am the sky — wide, quiet, strong.

Tonight, I lay it down.
I surrender this day.
I welcome sleep like a friend who’s waited for me.

And when I wake…
I will run not with anger in my chest,
but with lightness in my step,
and strength in my soul.

Sleep tight, sleep deep, you are well.
