You Are the Light Behind the Mask
The morning asks for a name, and you offer one that feels like a costume. You rehearse the confident answer to 'what do you do?' while knowing you have no title to claim.
The mask fits perfectly, yet the hollow ache behind it grows louder with every polite nod. You are performing okayness for a world that only sees the surface.
But the light does not ask for your resume. It sees the person trembling beneath the performance.
There is a truth living inside you that needs no job title to exist. You are not what you do.
You are the light that does the doing.
