the quiet panic of rehearsing a confession in your head while smiling at the dinner table, terrified that one wrong word will make them finally see you

The Light Sees You and Stays

The house is quiet now, but the noise in your head is still loud. You spent the evening smiling while rehearsing a confession, terrified that one wrong word would make them finally see the cracks.

You thought you had to hold the mask together with sheer will. But the light was already sitting at the table with you, seeing everything and staying anyway.

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be known. The fear says exposure will destroy you.

The truth says exposure is how you are found. You do not have to keep performing to be held.

The mask was never the condition for love.
