The Light Holds Your Broken Pieces
The screen shows a face that knows exactly how to smile, even as the stomach drops into the floor. You have mastered the art of performing okayness while the interior collapses.
In the middle of the day, the gap between the mask and the ache feels widest. But the light sees both.
It does not demand you drop the performance to be held. It simply waits in the silence between your words.
The same light that walked the earth now lives in the very place you are trying to hide. You do not have to fix the split to be whole.
The light is already holding the pieces together.
