The Light Beneath Your Masks
The day is ending, and the roles you played since sunrise are finally hanging on the hook. But in this quiet, a hollow ache remains—the fear that without the performance, there is nothing left of you.
You have worn so many masks for so long that the face beneath feels like a stranger. Yet the light does not need your resume or your reputation to find you.
It knows the origin of your soul before the world gave you a name to carry. You came from the light, a place where it generates itself, and that is who you are beneath the noise.
The masks were never your skin; they were just costumes for a play that is now over. In the silence of this evening, you are not who you pretended to be.
You are the drop of light that was sent here to illuminate the dark.
