behind the curtain
Location
Smiles and laughter are the first you see
When u look at me.
Hidden behind my eyes are,
My pain and fears
You only need to look closely to see.
Who is this person that smiles so bright?
Who is this person with an infectious light?
Behind the curtain is the real me
Behind the curtain is where you will see
A little girl still hiding behind her insecurities
So she smiles and laugh for the whole world to see
No.... not her behind the curtain
For that is who she is afraid to be
So.......
Instead she is the girl that everyone
Wants and tells her to be
Take a look behind the curtain
And this you shall find
A lady who has so much love to give
But is scared of the hurt that very well may come with it
A woman with strong morals tested at every turn
But somehow comes out on top
Only by the grace of her ever forgiving God
Striving for knowledge and a little more faith
Just a little more faith in myself
A little more knowledge of myself
Behind the curtain is a complete woman
Behind the curtain she does not belong
When will my time come?
To be in front of the curtain
To stop being what people want me to be
To be the woman God had planned for me to be
But for now behind the curtain she will remain
Behind the curtain until her courage she regains.
