When the Illusion Couldn’t Hold | Eclipse Authority

I chased reflections Of who I hoped they’d be But truth has a way Of stepping into clarity The masks grew thinner Under steady light I didn’t tear them down They slipped on their own in sight There’s sadness in the seeing But freedom in the know Compassion for the fracture And the places they can’t grow I don’t need to fight it I don’t need to prove The ripple already happened The truth already moved After the masks slipped I stood still and strong Not hardened...just certain Of where I belong Some shine in pressure Some fracture and fall I master myself And I outgrow it all I feel the friction rising Saturn in their eyes Neptune in confusion Virgo seeking perfect lines I watch without absorbing I lead without demand As I move inward My energy expands This is my season To refine and ascend Not louder...just clearer Not chasing...just aligned Detachment isn’t coldness It’s power held in grace The more I root within me The more I radiate They may resist the mirror They may deny the flame But I will keep becoming Unafraid of my own name After the masks slipped I didn’t collapse I grew into silence And widened the path This is my time To lead without force To shine from the center To embody the source
