I am so afraid,
afraid that people might see
who i really am.
I try to hide it.
outside i am calm, cool, and collected,
but inside i am crumbling into a million pieces...
I cant hide it forever;
sometimes the mask slips off,
and i am exposed and vulnerable.
i feel so naked and everyone is looking at me,
but i put my mask back on,
and i am safe behind it...
Nothing can happen to me here,
safe!!
But the fear comes back again,
just like it always does.
Then i am crying out again,
crying for help inside. The mask comes off again,
that's when i feel him holding my hand...
Th voice says
"do not fear me child,
for i love you exactly as you are,
and i will always be with you."
suddenly a peace comes over me
and i am not afraid anymore,
because i know someone loves me
just the way i am...

Well done!!
God bless you for coming out of your shell to write your true feelings. Although you may not like yourself on the inside, God wants us to love other people and show them God's love with words of thanks, encouragement, and random acts of kindness. Hopefully your trust in God will lead you to finding your place and removing your shell and being one whole hearted amazing person! Best of luck in life and the contest. -

WOW, this is amazing! God is so good, isn't He? I can totally identify with all of this - that mask is a suicidal form of self-protection. Anyway - great write and God bless!
