The Light Knows Your True Face
The day is ending, and the weight of holding yourself together is finally catching up to you. You have smiled when you wanted to scream, nodded when you wanted to run, and worn the mask of 'fine' so well that no one suspects you are falling apart.
But the gathering dark does not require you to perform anymore. It is the hour when the light that lives inside you waits for you to stop pretending.
You do not have to keep the peace or fix the broken pieces tonight. The light knows the truth behind the smile, and it loves what it sees there.
You are allowed to put the armor down.
