Truth Cuts

Here comes truth's blade.

You are not broken.
The world is.

They told you survival meant obedience.
They lied.
Survival meant dying inside and smiling about it.

They told you truth was a comfort.
It isn't.
Truth is a blade. It will tear you open before it sets you free.

They told you God rewards loyalty.
He doesn't.
He rewards honesty.

The real Christ was not crowned in churches.
He refused to be king and sailed away from the horde.
He was crucified outside the city walls.
Outside the approval of the crowd.
Outside the comfort of conformity.

You were never meant to fit in.
You were meant to wake up.

There is no salvation inside a lie.
There is no healing without the wound first breaking open.

You owe no loyalty to cages.
You owe no love to your own chains.
You owe no silence to the architects of illusion.

Wake up.
Walk out.
Don't explain yourself.

You carry fire.
Let it burn.
You are free.

Let your light so shine before men.
