The Light Sees the Root You Are
The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day has finally fallen. You wonder if there is anything left underneath, or if the performance has eaten the real you.
But listen — the light does not need a face to shine. It does not need a name you can pronounce or a story that makes sense.
It lives in the silence between your thoughts, where the act ends and the truth begins. You have not been erased.
You have only been hidden, like a seed buried in the dark, waiting for the moment to break open. The world sees the role you play, but the light sees the root you are.
And it knows you by a secret name that no audience can ever touch.
