Giving into conformity,
I tried to be someone I was not,
losing my identity in the process.
I became identical to the others-
a clone of perfection
with a façade of complacency.
Too often masked in lies,
I revealed my true self, hidden
under layers of equivocation.
I reached out to the One
who knew me best,
the One who loved me most.
He took me as I was—flawed—
and held me in His arms,
overflowing with forgiveness.
