You Are a Child of the Dawn
The mirror holds your face while you practice the lie that will get you through the door. You watch your mouth form the words, hoping the voice stays steady, hoping no one sees the crack beneath the skin.
But the sun is rising anyway, spilling a quiet gold across the floor that asks for nothing but your presence. You do not have to be perfect to walk into this new day.
You only have to be here. The light that woke up with you knows the truth already, and it loves you still.
You are not a performance to be perfected. You are a child of the dawn, already held.
