Wings for Flight

More Than Your Mask [Poem]

Though you are shattered and jaded

Contorted in agonizing fear and grief

And though you are lashing out at Me

Still I will reach through and see that

You, My child are more than your mask

Pieces are gathered within your heart

You cling to them like a koala to a tree

Scared to stay put, yet afraid to move

You are so strongly convinced that

You are nothing more than your mask

Apathy overwhelms the dying flame of joy

You don't want to come as you are

You don't come as you truly are

Instead you hide and bury yourself

But, I love you more than your mask
