The Light Sees You Behind The Mask
The cursor blinks on the screen, a steady pulse while you watch them type a reply to your lie. They are pouring trust into a version of you that you know is fake, and the weight of that performance is crushing the breath out of your chest.
The day is ending, and the armor you wore since morning feels too heavy to carry into the night. But the light does not need your mask to find you — it sees the person trembling behind the words.
There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever, far deeper than any deception you have spun. You do not have to maintain the illusion for the light to stay.
It waits for you to put the phone down and finally exhale.
