Walking through this life I came to a cross roads
I saw two doors before me, and one led to me living behind a mask this door, people didn’t have to know I was hurting
The other door would open to the room of grace, but in order to enter I just had to open up my heart
The world’s view of being broken has left so many people feeling shattered, because it is the opposite of what is true
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw others crying because I had been living the illusion I was the only one hurting
I looked around and masks were no where to be found, because the people in this room, understood that they just had to come open and willing
I took my mask off and didn’t recognize the man God created, because I had been hiding my real self for so long
It felt different, but I knew I was in the right room, because others were healing, but I was hurting still and wanted what they had
I knew I didn’t have to hide in my false reality any longer because I wanted to be stronger, so I opened up and felt true healing
Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, a shimmer of hope in the darkness, because I didn’t have to be someone else
