Clean Energy

The question posed by Tonya Lei, "Who do you actually want to be?"

By Silent Truth Published about 9 hours ago 1 min read
The essence you can’t see

Clean energy is mine.

A pure, bright light emanates from inside me.

Those who allow it to penetrate them from within feel its warmth and glow. It’s a warmth I once felt only from a strong drink—

but there is no fire in this warmth. 🔅

My spirit is intentional.

What may look like immature play or a weightless demeanor is not who I am. It is the result of struggle—years of hard-fought peace and complex refinement.

This energy can be found in a chamber polished to a mirror-like finish. From its center, rejuvenating light radiates outward. To absorb this self-sustaining energy, one must look past the patina. After the battle, feel the peace that lingers in the air.

I want to give this gift freely—without repercussions. ⚡️

I carry a light that never goes out. It exists separately from the weathered years etched on the exterior of my vessel. This does not mean it has not known grace or learned lessons; rather, it remains young and full of joy.

There is no reverence in unnecessary weight—adding it only makes things harder to carry. This energy will never be depleted, for it comes from a source beyond flesh and blood, a source that cannot be explored or exhausted.

To best reflect the eternal light placed within me, I have scrubbed away the tarnish of a corrupted life. 🌟

Are there fellow illuminators whose warmth matches my own?

If you cannot see my inner flame, come closer.

I will make sure you can feel it.

As Tonya Lei asks:

“Who do you actually want to be?”
