The Light Knows You Before You Speak

The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day has finally slipped. It leaves a hollow ache behind—the terrible suspicion that no one actually knows the real you because you are too afraid to let them see.

You keep the door locked, not because you want to be alone, but because you are terrified of what they might find if they walked in. But listen—there is a truth living inside you that is already fully known.

The light does not wait for you to open up before it loves what it sees. It saw you before you ever built the wall.

It knows the name you have never spoken aloud. You do not have to perform for the darkness.

The light is already sitting beside you, knowing everything, and loving you anyway.
