The Light Sees Your Trembling Heart
The mask feels heavy this morning, stiff from holding the shape of 'okay' while your insides shake. You stand before the closed door, replaying the exact tone of your voice, terrified they are crying on the other side because of you.
But the light does not see a performance to be judged — it sees the trembling heart behind the smile. The door is not a barrier between you and love; it is simply where the truth waits to be spoken.
You are not defined by the crack in your voice or the fear on the other side. The light is already in the room with both of you, holding the silence until it is safe to open.
