There was a time in my life,
Not so very long ago,
That I was afraid.
I was afraid to be me.
I was afraid to be me because
I didn’t want society to see how
I really looked.
I wore a weave to cover up my
Bald head. I wore makeup to cover up
My blemished skin. I wore contacts
To cover up my brown eyes.
I wore baggy clothes to cover up my
Voluptuous figure. I wore a frown
To cover up my imperfect teeth.
I did all of that, because I was afraid
To be me.
I was afraid to let people hear what I REALLY thought
For fear of being laughed at.
I was afraid to let people taste what I REALLY knew
Because I didn’t want them to categorize me as a know-it-all.
I was afraid to let people see how I REALLY walk
For fear of them thinking that I considered myself to be "all that"
Because I was afraid to be me,
I created a superficial image
To display to society.
But I finally saw the light.
I realized that You made me in Your own image
And You’re not afraid to be You…
And since You’re the only person
I have to answer to,
Why should I be afraid to be me?
I’m not afraid anymore.
I AM BEAUTIFUL!
And I don’t care who knows it.
I AM ME. And if people don’t like it, tough.
I’ve been delivered from people.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
