God (Inspired by) You see through this impenetrable smile
and know this is a lie that I hide behind.
The real me is somewhere inside
just begging to come out
but the voices in my head
have convinced me otherwise.
I am so ashamed that I choose
to surrender to my insecurities
rather than believing your voice
saying I’m something special.
I want to do more than simply
take up space but instead
I spend my time trying to escape
from this life I’ve been given.
But I haven’t forgotten how
You know me through-and-through
and decided to love me
exactly as I am, flawed and all.
And even when I cannot bear myself
You accept me with all my imperfections.
