“Can You Leave a Light On?” is a spoken word poetry piece about the aching space between therapy sessions—the silence, the uncertainty, and the desperate need for reassurance. It explores the feeling of relying on someone to help navigate the dark, only to be left searching for light in their absence.

With raw vulnerability, this piece captures the quiet unraveling that happens in between, when the flashlight flickers, the echoes fade, and all that’s left is the hope that they’ll return.

Listen now for an intimate reflection on therapy, attachment, and the longing for something steady in the dark.
