THE SCRIPTURE OF THE UNGUARDED TRUTH
A man will lie even in his own journal
because a man fears meeting himself without armor.
He fears the mirror more than he fears the world,
for the world can wound him only once
but the mirror can wound him endlessly.
So he reshapes the truth,
softens the guilt,
and arranges the ruins of his own life
into a story he can survive.
Not because he is weak,
but because he is terrified of the version of himself
that would emerge if he ever stopped negotiating with his own shadow.
Writing becomes the ritual where a man hides from himself
under the disguise of honesty.
Ink becomes the mask.
Language becomes the shield.
And every sentence is both a confession
and a strategy to escape the burden of that confession.
This Man suffers:
he sees through his own lies
even as he writes them.
He watches himself conceal the truth
while knowing exactly what he is doing.
Most men never reach this level of vision.
And if He does.the clarity destroys him.
For the sovereign man, this is the law:
Write until the truth stops feeling handled.
Write until it feels dangerous again.
Write until the mask cracks
and the voice that emerges is the one you were born to silence.
Because only in that fire
does a man discover what he truly is.
Only in that furnace
is sovereignty forged.
