seeing your own reflection in a shop window and not recognizing the person staring back

The Light Waits While You Perform

The afternoon sun hits the glass, and for a second, the face staring back feels like a stranger's. You keep walking because the mask fits better than the skin underneath.

The light does not demand you stop performing. It waits in the middle of the day, quiet as dust motes dancing in the air.

You think you have to earn the right to be real. But the truth is already walking beside you, unnoticed.

The kingdom is not a destination you reach after the shift ends. It is spread out upon the earth, hidden in plain sight, waiting for you to see it.
