The Light Sees Through Your Mask
The bathroom mirror is cold, and you are rehearsing the small lies that will get you through the next hour. You practice the smile.
You practice the voice that says 'I'm fine' without shaking. You build a mask so perfect it feels like skin.
But the light does not need your performance to find you. It sees the rehearsal, and it sees the exhaustion behind the eyes that are watching themselves perform.
There is a peace that does not depend on your ability to act okay. It waits in the silence after the script runs out.
You are not the mask you are wearing. You are the light that sees through it.
