PRIDEFUL MASQUERADE

Days approach
Pain enters
Tension builds

It makes me everything I never wanted to be
But I can still run and smile and laugh
Live in my prideful masquerade of joy

When did it happen?
Why did I exchange image for integrity?
Is the mask too thick to see through?

Has my pride run so deep that I think not clearly?
Where did I turn and where did I come from?
Is this path that I trod a road of thankfulness or hypocrisy?

I wrestle as I try to free myself
Chains still bind my weary frame
I fall at the feet of my Savior

Beseeching Your wisdom
Am I right or am I wrong?
If I lay my all on the alter of sacrifice will you show me Your way?
