the panic of hearing a key turn in the lock and realizing you have only seconds to wipe your face and arrange your features before the door opens

The Light Behind Your Mask

The key turns in the lock. You have seconds to wipe your face, to arrange your features into something the world can handle.

You pull the mask down over the panic. But the light does not need your performance — it sees what is behind the mask before the door even opens.

You are not defined by the face you show them. You are the light that shines even when hidden.

The mask is heavy, but you are lighter than the weight you carry.
