Once upon a time
Many years ago
A girl in darkness
Abused and lonely
Longed for acceptance
For others to see
Her hidden beauty
Masked by shame and pain
Deserted, abandoned
By those she trusted
Callous betrayal
Cruel heart daggers
Wondering each day
Who will I become
Me the imposter
Pretending, hiding
An image you like
Free of flaws and hurts
Seeking others love
Approval and trust
Or will I be me
Authentically true
Faults, mistakes, failings
For the world to see
Knowing brokenness
In the hands of God
Will one day create
The ideal, whole me
Be a VOICE shouting into the wilderness.
“CHRIST is returning!“
