The Light Sees Behind Your Mask
The engine is off, but the silence is loud. You sit in the driveway, terrified that the moment you open the door, they will see the crack in the performance.
The mask feels heavy today — glued on so tight it hurts to breathe. But the light does not need your costume to recognize you.
It sees behind the smile you practiced in the rearview mirror. There is a peace that does not depend on how well you act.
The light is already inside the house, waiting for the real you to walk through the door. You do not have to hold it together for the light to hold you.
