Fake

You fell for the oldest trick!
You felt just like a fool!
The guilt...it was so thick,
when you broke the rule!
Never thought the compromise,
would lead to so many different lies...
but still, you put the blame
on somebody else,
not admitting it was you,
who bit into the fruit!
What you hid, you justified!
Like the leaves, they multiplied!
You were caught,
so you searched inside,
for a quick disguise!
Lies...they will always
turn into more lies!
Pain can leave you blinded!
Those memories hit hard!
Emotions...they can burn you!
Self-pity leaves you charred!
But in the ashes,
where you left your soul,
you can find God's peace,
if you just let go
and release
those broken dreams!
Like an annoying fly,
that's buzzing around your room,
God's whispers haunt you!
It's as though you're in a tomb.
You're so entrenched,
you can't decipher,
that little voice inside you!
You're walled up!
Scarred wrists reach down
to guide you!
You're so clever!
Yet, the truth cuts you so deep!
It will sever,
all the lies, you smoothly keep!
Why have you been so fake?
Like the bottom of a lake,
that's never seen!
The pain that you hide,
filters through your pride,
then disappears beneath!
Shame! It never felt so hollow!
Get real! Let yourself feel!
Though, the truth is hard to swallow!
It's been years,
because you justified your fears
and hid behind the tree!
Truth will set you free!
Stop digging your own trench!
It holds you in a trap...
and the tales you love to tell,
confines you to a cell!
If somebody could show you
that there's a better way,
would you take that chance
and trust them?
Get on your knees and pray!
Or would you just relapse
and compromise again?
You can't cover sin with sin!
You've got to bring it all to Him!
At first, it may feel strange...
yet freedom births from pain!
Take time to rearrange...
and make the choice
to change!
