Fake

You fell for the oldest trick! You felt just
like a fool! The guilt 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 in
to 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! 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, His 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's about to sever, 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! 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
the chance and trust them? Get on your knees and
pray! Or would you 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! Make the choice to change!
