Perceptions

Share
It's amazing how we think
Maybelline works for a broken heart
or our pain and confusion
can be covered up with MaxFactor
We learn to smile and stay 'positive'
when on the inside
it feels like we're dying

It doesn't help when we look
and see that everyone else
seems to have it all together
when we ask them they say
"oh me, I'm doing just great"
we never realise that when we leave
they bring out Iman for a touch up

We all have issues
We all have sad days
But we must learn to be open
To stand before someone
Naked and unashamed
To admit we're not perfect
And we could use some help

So I'm handing you some make-up remover
Don't worry i need it too
Because I must tell Jesus
I cannot bear these burdens alone
I must tell those who truly love me
I cannot bear this pain alone
I don't have to do this alone
