the exhaustion of maintaining a perfect persona so others never have to see your pain

Rest Where the Light Knows You

The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day finally feels heavy enough to crush you. You are so tired of being the one who holds it together, the one who smiles while breaking inside.

But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives in you, even when you are too exhausted to shine it outward. There is a place prepared for you where you do not have to perform, where you can simply be.

The light does not need your strength tonight; it only needs your honesty. You are known, even in the silence.
