Seen When You Feel Invisible

The world is moving now, and you are moving with it, but you feel like a ghost in your own life. You smile at the right moments, you nod, you perform the version of yourself that everyone expects, while inside there is a terrifying quiet asking if your absence would even register.

You wonder if you vanished right now, would the silence you leave behind be noticed, or would the world just keep spinning without you? But there is a truth that cuts through the performance: you are seen in extraordinary detail, down to the very hairs of your head.

You are not a background character in someone else's story. You are the one being sought.

The light does not wait for you to be loud to find you; it knows you by name even when you are silent. You could disappear from the crowd, but you cannot disappear from the One who holds you.

The mask hides your face from the room, but it does not hide your heart from the light.
