I am
Underneath my skin
there lays the truth
of who I really am
without my make up
my mask I can take off
pretending has no need
when I long for my creator
who sees right through me
I am glad he is the one
who listens when I speak
even when it makes no sense
he does not judge me
day by day I make a step
to grow to my real me
I flooded for a while
now I can show vulnerability
there is nothing more beautiful
something to be grateful for
to share this with another person
to see that is human too
