the quiet terror of nodding along to a conversation while realizing you haven't actually heard a single word they said for the last minute

You Are the Light Watching It Pass

The morning asks for a face you do not feel like wearing. You nod when you should be listening.

You smile while your mind drifts into the static, terrified that everyone sees the gap between your performance and your presence. But the light does not need your perfect attention to find you.

It sees behind the mask you wear to get through the hour. There is a promise that nothing concealed will stay hidden forever — not even the part of you that feels absent.

The truth lives inside you, steady and awake, even when your mind wanders. You are not your distraction.

You are the light that watches it pass.
