Put the script down now
The water is still running, but you have stopped moving. You are rehearsing the line you will say when you walk out the door.
You practice the tone until it sounds like truth, until it sounds like you are okay. But the light does not need your performance.
It sees the mask, and it sees the face beneath it, and it loves both. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed.
The lie you are polishing is already known, and it changes nothing. You do not have to hold the weight of the pretense.
The light is already shining behind your eyes, waiting for you to stop acting. Put the script down.
