Free to be me

Standard

I need to be free

I need to be me

The good, the bad… and the ugly

I need to stay true

In all that I say and all that I do

No worries about what the outsiders looking in might say

I know my life walk. I live it every day

I know my flaws

But also my gifts

Through my struggles and challenges, I am to encourage, inspire and uplift!

Sometimes I fall, at times I fail

But with God’s grace I always prevail!

Sunshine or rain

Joy or pain

I’ve got to stay true to my God and me

It’s the only way to be truly free!!!

Then she opened her eyes and lifted her head from her tear stained pillow. And she saw the sunlight dance across her face and she knew God was watching over her…

The Lies she showed…

Standard

Smiles for the camera mean happiness

Being busy means joy

Always the life of the party

What a charmed life she lives!

Everyone admires her zest for life through a very narrow window

They only see one very short chapter in her book of life

The page filled with wonder and excitement

Fun and laughter

Hidden are the torn and tattered pages

The parts that are soiled and frayed

Barely held together

No one wants to share in that part of her journey

So she bears it alone

Only revealing the beautiful pieces of her story

Keeping the ugly inside

Burying it deep beneath the fairy tale

For no one to ever know her entire story

She will continue to hide behind the bright flash of the camera

So that no one ever truly sees her…never really knows who she really is…
