The Light Runs Before You Remove The Mask

When You Feel AloneWhen Your Mind Won't StopWhen You Don't Know Who You Are

The room is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day feels heavy on your face. You wonder if anyone in that room actually knows the person you are pretending to be.

But the light does not need your performance to see you. It sees through the act.

There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off. He ran.

Before the apology, before the speech — he ran. The light is already running toward the real you, not the pretend one.

You do not have to take the mask off to be loved. The love is what gives you the courage to finally let it fall.
