UNMASKED

-
Don't believe my words,
They're lies that I fabricate to
Project a perfect life and
Convince you I'm okay.

Don't trust the smile you see,
It's a facade to conceal,
Searing pain,acute shame,
Sheer heartache.

Don't get fooled by my laughter,
It is merely an echo
Of hollow insides, yearning
For senses to return.

Don't get convinced by my
Clarity and order;
Borne in attempt to
Control the choas
And pacify the storm brewing
Inside.

Don't be blinded by
The perfection I exude,
The courage I fake,
The innocence I feign,
The confidence I wear-
For I am broken.

Yea you may get a little light but then before you know it your back in your drought. It’s being surrounded by everything and yet you still feel alone and no matter who comes to help you’re on your own. So who can you blame? Yourself...

Gaps in the graphics, Always knew they were there, But stuff I saw made me More reluctant to share It was fresh, it was new, Never been there before, And the scary specifics Made me feel like a whore I know if I trust You I’ll come out the other side, With more freedom than ever, Nothing to prove, lose, or hide. Gaps in the graphics, Want them to stay as they are Then once and forever, That ship can sail  afar.

When all hope, Has gone out of you When the sea ahead Turns a ranging blue. Hold on to Jesus, Let Him be your light And the waves of depression He will help you fight. When all desire, Has gone out of you When the storm you are in Obscures your enternal view. Hold on to Jesus, Let Him be your rock And the winds of adversity He will begin to block. When all hope and desire, Has gone out of you You'll not be discouraged If Jesus you hold on to.
