The Light Wearing Your Mask
You caught your reflection in the shop window today and didn't recognize the stranger staring back. The face looked yours, but the eyes felt hollow, like a mask glued on over someone who is quietly falling apart.
That gap between how you look and how you feel is exhausting — performing okayness while breaking inside. But the light sees behind the performance.
It knows the real you, the one hidden beneath the smile you wear for the world. There is a name written on a white stone that only you and God know, and it has nothing to do with the face in the glass.
You are not the mask you wear to survive the morning. You are the light wearing the mask.
