the terror that if you stop performing the version of yourself they love, they will finally see the emptiness and leave

The Holy Ground of Your Emptiness

The afternoon demands a performance you are too tired to keep giving. You hold the shape they love, terrified that if your hands drop, they will see the hollow space inside and walk away.

But there is a love that does not need your mask to stay. It sees the emptiness you hide and calls it holy ground.

The light is not a prize you earn by being enough for everyone else. It is the breath already filling the empty parts you fear.

You do not have to perform to be held. The silence you are hiding is exactly where the light lives.
