The Light Sees Your Hollow Spaces Holy
The morning light hits the glass, and for a second, you see a stranger walking in your clothes. A ghost who forgot how to haunt, moving through the motions while feeling entirely absent.
You wear the mask of okayness because the world expects a performance, not the truth of your exhaustion. But the light does not need your smile to find you — it sees the hollow spaces behind your eyes and calls them holy.
You are not the reflection that flickers on the surface. You are the light that makes the reflection visible.
The mask is heavy, but the face beneath it is already known.
