Masks
As a child, I learnt
that you could never let them see
the you that you were meant to be.
As I grew,
I learnt to hide the real me
deep inside.
Lost in a place I could not see
was the me I was meant to be.
As I grew older,
the masks I used to hide
became so skilful
no one could look inside.
The pain I carried was so real,
yet from everyone
I could conceal.
When I met You,
I could no longer hide
the me that I had kept deep inside.
The masks I wore were many in their array.
They helped me live
the role I played.
Mother.
Daughter.
Sister.
Wife.
Each one crafted
from the pain I hid inside.
Your light broke through
and cracked the masks.
They were no longer roles to play.
You saw me as I truly was,
and still You loved me
just because.
You gave Your all
on a broken tree
to help me find
my real identity.
At times still,
I may get lost,
but You always bring me back
to the cross.
The masks are broken,
my life renewed,
and now I can be
what You called me to.
I no longer need to hide
because You are living on my inside.
The pain and the hurt
are barely there,
because Your Spirit now resides.
I no longer need to hide.
I can be who I truly am.
Your love has set me free
to be who it is
I am called to be.
