You Are the Light That Sees
The room is loud, but the glass is silent. You catch your reflection laughing with everyone else, yet your eyes feel like hollowed-out stones.
This is the bottom. The moment the mask slips and the emptiness stares back.
But listen — the darkness you see is not the end of the story. The light that shines in the darkness has not been overcome by it.
It is still there, buried under the fatigue, waiting for you to stop performing. You are not the empty eyes in the window.
You are the light that sees them.
