Broken

Heaven

My soul laid bare, for the world to see 

Their scrutinizing eyes, fixated upon me 

Picking apart, every mistake 

Their words, as biting as a snake 

Holding nothing back 

Now that I have no secrets left 

Damaging me, they attack 

Letting me know what they think of me 

From my too pale skin, to my atrocious personality 

I can't fit in, I don't like this reality 

I leave, hoping to find 

A place, where people will be kind 

Where flaws are accepted 

Where blemishes are worn proud 

Where you don't have to hide your face 

Behind that misery woven shroud 

After searching 

For many a day 

After walking so far 

I found that place 

Now I am kneeling, at his feet 

Offering myself up to him, cowardly 

"Get up child" 

He says 

"There is nothing to be ashamed of" 

God says 

I found a place 

Where I am accepted 

I found a place 

No longer am I dejected 

I found a place, I can be me 

I found a place, finally, I am happy
