Safe to Drop the Mask Now
The house is quiet now, but your hands are still shaking from holding the mask in place all day. You watched them leave, terrified that the cracks showed, that they saw the exhaustion behind the smile.
In the middle of the routine, the light does not demand a flawless performance. It stands at the door and knocks, waiting for you to stop pretending.
You do not have to earn your place in this room by being strong. The light is already here, not as a reward for your acting, but as the ground beneath your trembling feet.
The performance is over; you are safe to be real.
