The Dawn Loves the Real You
The laugh just faded, and now the silence rushes in to fill the space where the mask used to be. You feel like a fraud who tricked them into loving a ghost while the real you hides in the shadows.
But the sun is rising anyway, spilling gold on the floor without asking if you are worthy of the light. It does not wait for you to be perfect before it touches your face.
The light sees the performance, sees the fear behind the smile, and loves the exhausted person underneath just as much. You do not have to keep acting to be held.
The dawn knows who you are before you say a word.
