The Terror of Being Truly Known
The silence of this hour is loud enough to hear the cracking in your mask. You are terrified that if someone asks a real question, the whole structure will collapse and they will see the fraud underneath.
But listen — the light does not need your performance to stay. It was there before you built the facade, and it remains when the facade falls.
There is a name the light calls you that no one else knows, written on a white stone, hidden from every accuser. You are not a fraud to be exposed.
You are a child to be found. The terror of being seen is actually the ache of finally being known.
