The Dawn Waits Only For Your Face
The sun is rising, and with it comes the quiet terror that the person you built was never really you. You spent years carving away your own edges to fit into spaces that were too small, until now, in this first light, you cannot find a single desire that belongs to you.
But the light does not ask you to perform a personality; it only asks you to be present. The false self was a mask you wore to survive; the real you is the light that was there before the mask existed.
You do not have to invent a new soul this morning. You only have to stop pretending.
The dawn is not asking for your perfection; it is simply waiting for your face.
