what’s under that mask

when you never meet face-to-face
when you can’t wear a mask on your voice
when there’s no chance to cover what’s real

who’s there

I used to wear a mask
it was beautiful…so I thought
I wanted you to like me
and I figured if I was more like you
I’d fit in

what a lie from the pit of hell!

I really am only me now
I don’t want to be anyone else
I don’t want anyone’s gift (unless it’s wrapped…heehe)
I don’t want your hair
your makeup
your clothes
your teeth
your husband

I’ve never been more full
so much at peace
I’ve never been so real
about who I am, how I laugh, how I stand
what my voice sounds like
that I’m a little crooked…literally

I’m ME
and I’m glad you’re YOU
and TOGETHER
we are ONE
in His FAMILY
