The Light Knows Your Real Face
The bathroom mirror holds the rehearsal. You practice the casual tone, the easy smile, the lie that makes you look like you are okay.
You worry your voice will crack if you don't get the performance just right. But the light does not need your script.
It sees the person behind the mask, the one who is tired of holding up the wall. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed.
The truth you are hiding from the world is already known by the light, and it is not afraid of you. You do not have to be perfect to be loved.
You only have to be real. The mask is heavy, but the face beneath it is free.
