There is someone else inside
Buried under all the layers
Layers of pain and layers of tears
But most of all, layers of fear.
There is someone else outside
Talking to the world
Hiding the pain and hiding the tears
And covering me with fear.
I have to peel away the layers
Show the pain and show the tears
Find the courage to fight the fear
And let the inside come out.
I can’t let anyone see my fear
The pain and the tears are safe inside
As long as no one can see them,
I can pretend they’re not there.
Luke 17:21
…the kingdom of God is within you.
