Whisper the Real Answer to Light
The afternoon asks its simple question: 'How are you?' And your mouth opens, but the answer is stuck somewhere behind your ribs, tangled in months of silence. You have become so good at the mask that the face underneath has forgotten how to speak.
The routine demands you keep moving, keep performing, keep the gears turning even when your soul is screaming for a halt. But listen — the light does not need your performance.
It is waiting in the quiet space between your breath and your reply. There is a voice inside you that knows the truth, even if your lips have not formed the words.
The child of true Humanity exists within you. Follow it.
You do not have to manufacture an answer for the crowd. You only have to whisper the real one to the light.
The mask is heavy, but the truth is light enough to carry.
