The Light Sees Your Face Behind The Mask
The sun is up, and the mask is already waiting on the nightstand. You put it on before your feet hit the floor because it feels safer than letting them see the exhaustion that never actually left.
It just waited in the dark for you to open your eyes. But there is a light that does not need your performance to shine.
It sees the face behind the smile and calls it beloved. You do not have to hold the weight of the day alone.
The One who knew your name before you ever learned to wear a mask is walking beside you right now. The exhaustion is real, but it is not the whole story.
