Joy's Persistence

Finding Light in Darkness

By Parsley Rose Published 4 months ago 1 min read

Tears become starlight

through the cracks, joy finds its way,

blooming from the ache.

This captures how laughter can emerge even in moments of suffering, transforming pain into something luminous. The image of cracks suggests vulnerability, but also how light (joy) can enter through our broken places.

Just a small town girl, living in a dystopian wasteland, trying to survive the next big Feral Ghoul attack. I'm from a vault that ran questionable operations on sick and injured prewar to postnuclear apocalypse vault dwellers. I like stars.
