the moment your hand hovers over the doorknob, rehearsing a smile you don't feel before you turn it and let them see you

The Light Sees Your True Face

Your hand is still on the knob. You are rehearsing the smile that says you are fine, even though you are not.

The world expects a performance, and you are tired of being the actor who never leaves the stage. But the light does not need your mask to find you.

It sees the face behind the performance before you even turn the handle. There is a truth that lives inside you, and it will be with you forever, whether you are smiling or weeping.

You do not have to pretend to be whole to be held. The light is already waiting on the other side of that door, not for your act, but for you.
