Your Joy Is The Repair
The morning asks for a face you do not have to give. You smooth your features before the mirror, terrified that your real joy will crack the fragile peace of the house.
You think your light is a weapon that will shatter the silence. But the light does not break what it touches; it reveals what was already whole.
There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with you forever, steady and unshakable. Your joy is not a lie that endangers them; it is the only thing that can hold them when the mask finally falls.
The peace you are protecting is already broken; the joy you are hiding is the repair.
