Safe to Drop the Script

The service ends, and the real performance begins. Someone asks how you are, and the word 'blessed' sits on your tongue like a stone you have to swallow.

You smile while breaking inside, wearing a face that does not match the heart beating beneath it. But the light does not need your mask — it sees the tremor in your hands and the grief you are hiding.

It knows the difference between the words you speak and the truth you carry. The light is not fooled by the performance, and it does not love the act more than the actor.

You are safe to drop the script right here, because the light already knows what you are too afraid to say. The lie is heavy, but the truth is waiting to set you free.
