the shame of rehearsing a lie to explain why you can't go out tonight

Dawn Does Not Demand You Perform Okayness

The sun is up, but the lie you rehearsed last night still sits heavy in your throat. You practiced the excuse, polished the fiction, just to keep them from asking why you cannot come out.

Dawn does not demand you perform okayness. It only asks that you stop hiding.

There is a light that gives light to everyone, and it shines on the part of you that is tired, not just the part that is strong. The rising sun comes from heaven to guide your feet into the path of peace, not the path of pretense.

You do not need to be fixed to be held by this new day. The truth that lives in you is already enough to walk into the morning.
