The Light Knows Your Worth Beyond Lies

The water runs hot, but it cannot wash away the echo of the voice you just buried. You said 'I'm fine,' and now you are scrubbing the lie off your skin, trying to find the person underneath the performance.

This is the bottom of the night — the hour where the mask feels glued to your face and the silence feels like a verdict. But listen — the light does not need you to be clean before it stays.

It entered the room the moment you spoke the lie, because it knows the difference between your words and your worth. You are not the performance you are trying to erase.

You are the light that was there before the first 'fine' was ever spoken. The scrubbing can stop.

The truth is already sitting beside you, waiting for you to put the towel down.
