A new self

You think you know me
inside and out
but really, my life,
you know nothing about.

You see, I put on a mask
tricking the human eye
not realizing it was sin
I was living a big lie.

I said all those things
to impress higher powers
I acted so joyful
my acting made me a coward.

I knew it was wrong
deceiving my peers
I had to change my way
which meant facing my fears.

I was not being myself
or how i felt inside
I wanted to come out
and let go of my pride.

I changed my way of living
devoting it to Him
I still make my mistakes
but I get back up again.

My choices were made wiser
I stood up for what's right
the looks became more intense
I cried almost every night.

But He helped me through it
gave me positive friends
I expressed how I truly felt
and never looked back again.

I kept my head up high
and still prayed for help
like the Word says- don't worry,
for tomorrow will take care of itself.

So finally the real me
that everyone thought they knew
my character from me within
made my life feel like new.

God took off my mask
and drew me close to Him
I didn't need to hide
for I was cleansed outside and in.

His love for me
has made my soul stronger
I'm not afraid anymore
I can hold on much longer.

So I leave you now
with one final word
when you think it's over
remember, your prayers are heard.

wow, yeah that is like very personal. and i wrote it in like 15 minutes. so please tell me what you think. it's so0o true and real.
