The Truth Is Lighter Than The Lie
The afternoon light is unforgiving. It catches every tiny lie you told to seem okay, every moment you performed strength when you were hollow inside.
You replay the conversations, cringing at the mask you wore, convinced the performance disqualified you from being loved. But the light does not demand a flawless script.
It saw the tremble beneath the smile. It heard the silence behind the words.
Neither do I condemn you. Go now.
The day is long, but you do not have to carry the weight of pretending anymore. The truth is lighter than the lie.
