When The Mask Cracks: what remains when the illusion ends

By Lightstillglows .

Everyone wears a mask.
Most people never take it off.

When The Mask Cracks is not a book about heartbreak. It is a book about what survives it.

Written in raw, honest verse, this collection takes you through childhood wounds, the terror of loving without armor, the devastation of betrayal, and the quiet courage it takes to stay when everything in you wants to run.

This is for the ones who carried everything and asked for nothing. For the ones who were strong for so long they forgot what it felt like to just be human. For the ones who stayed when the world said leave.

You are not alone in this.

The light was always there. It was just waiting for the cracks.
