The Light Beneath the Shaking
The house is quiet now, but your hands are still holding up the smile you wore all day. You are so tired of being the one who doesn't break.
But there is a light inside you that does not need your performance to shine. It was there before the mask, and it is there now, beneath the shaking.
You do not have to keep it together for this light to hold you. It knows the tremor.
It knows the fear. And it loves you not despite the cracks, but because they let the true light out.
The smile was for them. The stillness is for you.
