The Light Waits Behind Your Mask
The day is done, and now the house is quiet enough to hear the rehearsal begin. You are practicing the lie you will tell tomorrow when someone asks how you are, smiling while your chest tightens with the panic of being found out.
But listen — the light does not need your performance to see you. It is already behind the mask, waiting for you to stop running.
There is a name written on a white stone that no one else knows, a secret identity the light holds for you alone. You do not have to earn the right to be known.
The truth is already speaking your name in the dark. The mask is heavy, but the face beneath it is beloved.
