The Light Behind Your Silent Smile
The room is loud, but you are silent behind your smile. You speak, and your words seem to pass through the crowd like wind through a screen, landing nowhere.
It feels as though you are wearing a costume of okayness while breaking inside. But the light does not need volume to be real.
It sees behind the mask you wear to get through the morning. There is a name written on a white stone that no one else knows but you.
The performance is for them; the truth is for you. You are not invisible just because you feel unheard.
