You Are the Light Wearing the Mask
The afternoon sun is bright, but it casts no shadows inside the chest where the roles you play have worn thin. You feel the hollow ache of not knowing who you are beneath the performance, the mask, the endless doing.
But there is a child of true Humanity existing within you right now, waiting to be followed instead of the noise. The light does not need you to figure it out or earn a new identity.
It simply waits in the quiet center, brighter than any role you could ever invent. You are not the mask.
You are the light wearing it.
