All Of My Many Masks



I was
a prisoner
of war,
I'd like
to share with
you how

I was
born this
way,
stuck inside
myself
and I
wanted out now

The me
the who I am,
was
so fearful
and sad

I wanted
to talk
from my heart,
but
I was
so shy
and very mad

My life
turned out
to be
such a
disappointment
to me

It was
not any other
person
I needed
to look at
and see

My decisions
and
choices
I made
over my life

Generated
inside of me
much
confusion
and
strife

I sat
in this
prison cell
of my own thinking,
wanting so
much to be free

Looking through
those bars
to life
where I sat,
was me

How do I
break
out of this prison,
this life
that was mine,
I asked?

First,
I had to begin
with
putting my
trust in God,
then,
peeling away
what I wore ...
all of my many masks.
