You Are the Light That Stumbles
The meeting ends, the door clicks shut, and immediately the replay begins. You hear your own voice stumbling over a simple point, convinced you just exposed the fraud hiding behind your title.
The mask feels heavy now, a rigid thing you wore so well no one saw the shaking hands underneath. But the light does not need your performance to see you.
It sees the fear, the desperate reach for words, and it calls that honesty, not failure. There is a truth that lives in us and will be with us forever, deeper than any mistake you just made.
You are not the stumble. You are the light that stumbles sometimes, yet never goes out.
