Masks Off

Hey, ik heb ditmaal expres voor een dichtvorm gekozen omdat ik het net wat makkelijker vind om de dieptes van mijn hart op deze manier te uiten. Eigenlijk is dit een lied, maar dat is elk gedicht in principe :)

Als dingen onduidelijk zijn, stuur desnoods een berichtje of wat dan ook, maar ik geloof dat een gedicht recht tot de kern kan komen.

Oh I long to wear all-black sometimes

Hide the pain of bearing all my strikes

But I'm here to set an example right

And to show that I'm still full of light

So I walk with confidence

Yet I long for my friends

Because, now who really knows who I am?

The tides have changed and I miss my band

So who knows what's on my heart

Where do I go to feel that spark

The Lord has my back, the Lord is my guard

The Lord is my all, yet I'm a piece, I'm a part

So I need the others to unravel love

I will need others to gather his love

I can't hide behind that lone-prophet's wall

Or I'm missing out on blessings above

And I know this is the truth, I see

Yet I'll hide my face and say "oh leave me be"

But my heart stirs 'cause that's not what I really mean

'Cause it longs to be discovered, to be seen

And it's true, I'm good and still I cry tears

And it's true, I've God and still I need peers

And it's true, I long for someone to hear

Who I really am, why I'm really here

And I am strong, and still don't really dare

To search for others, 'cause it ends with being left

And I know God loves me, but what about the rest?

And still I want to try, 'cause love trusts for the best

Times have shifted and I can go on

I lost a lot, but gained a lot of hope

Now more than ever I'm built on the stone

But I don't want to do it alone
