Many people put on different masks
while going through there life.
They never want to take it
off to allow someone inside.
They do not want anyone to see
the real person that lies just
below the surface.
The real you.
The real me.
They are not sure they will be
accepted as they are.
They shield themselves from everyone
to block out the pain.
They want to be exactly what others
want in order to fit into this world.
At least that is what i
thought i had to do.
I wanted my foster parents to want me
to keep me for their very own.
Yet they did not want me.
I wanted my husband to love me
unconditionally he did
for many years.
I use to let fear guide my life.
I use to let it guide my steps.
I was afraid no one would
like the real me.
A while ago i removed my mask
to allow others in.
I since have seen my life grow in
ways i could never of planned.
I have learned what it is like to
have a loyal friend.
I have searched for and God found
me a christian family who only want
to be there for me in all times.
Who consider it a blessing
to be my support.
That is why i put my life in GOD'S hands.
He is my Father.
He is my Redeemer.
He is my guiding light.
I want only to be translucent
translucent that others
can see Christ through me.
