TITLE: The Face That I Look At By Heather Reed 10/04/04 |

The face that I look at
the face that I see,
an unwanted person
staring back at me.
I turn off the light
I soon disappear,
the light coming back on
Is my only fear.
The face that I look at,
who could it be?
The ugly image
is me I see.
Everyone says that I am wrong
the beauty is within,
and that is the place
where the love begins.
I feel so different
I feel it is a shame,
this life God has given me
has all been a losing game.
I try to pray
in hopes he'll understand,
but I am blinded by my guilt
and I refuse to take his hand.
One day I hope to heal
and begin a better life,
to become a better Mother,
Sister, Daughter and Wife.
But for now I will sin
for there is nothing I can do.
I feel that I'm not strong enough,
to be guided through life by you.
So I will turn my back
and hope he can see that
the pain I hold inside
Is The Face That I Look At.
