Safe At Last :)

I'm so afraid. Afraid that people might see who I really am. I try to hide it, Outside I'm calm, cool, collected. But inside I'm crumbling into a million pieces. I can't hide it forever. Sometimes the mask slips off and I'm exposed and vulnerable. I feel so naked and everyone is looking at me. They can see right through me. But I put my mask back on and I'm safe behind it. Nothing can happen to me there. Safe. But the fear comes back again Just like it always does. Then I'm crying out again, Crying for help inside. The mask comes off again. That's when I feel Him, holding my hand. The voice says, "Do not fear, my child, For I love you exactly as you are. And I will always be with you." Suddenly, a peace comes over me And I'm not afraid anymore. Because I know He loves me Just the way I am.
