The Light Inside Your Crack
The question lands in the quiet room: 'How are you?' And you feel the mask slide into place before you even open your mouth. 'I'm fine,' you say.
A lie told to keep the peace. A lie told because the truth is too heavy for this hour.
But the light does not need your performance. It sees the tremor in your voice.
It sees the exhaustion behind the smile. There is a peace that does not depend on your ability to hold it together.
The light is not afraid of your fracture. It is already inside the crack, waiting for you to stop pretending.
You do not have to carry the weight of being okay tonight. The darkness has not overcome the truth of who you are beneath the lie.
