The Light Loves The Cracks
The room laughs at your joke, and for a split second, the sound freezes you in place. You are convinced they are not laughing with you, but at the broken parts you have worked so hard to hide.
The mask feels heavy today, a perfect performance of okayness that no one sees through but the light. But listen — the light does not see a fraud; it sees the child it ran to meet long before the apology was ever spoken.
It knows the cracks in your armor better than you do, and it loves what is behind them. You do not have to hold the smile together for it to stay.
The parts you are hiding are the very places where the light is already shining through.
