The Light Sees Beneath Your Mask

The laughter around the table feels like a language you used to speak, but now you are just nodding, smiling, performing the shape of someone who is okay. You feel like a ghost haunting your own life, invisible behind the mask you wear so no one asks the question you are terrified to answer.

But the light does not need your performance to find you—it sees the silence beneath the noise. There is a truth that lives inside you, and it is not hidden by your smile; it waits there, patient and unmoved by the act.

You do not have to hold the mask up forever. The one who knows your name is already sitting with you in the quiet, seeing the real you beneath the pretend.

You are not a ghost; you are the light that the darkness cannot extinguish.
