Stained Glass Windows

Stained Glass Windows

Over my soul

They look so good

So pretty, so full

I am a Christian

I love Jesus, they state

But conveniently they hide

All the anger, the hate

Stained Glass Windows

Such a contradiction

Looking so pretty

Hiding what is within

Covering the frustration

The doubts, the fears

Hiding the disappointment

The sadness, the tears

Stained Glass Windows

Keeping me inside

I cannot look outward

I’m willing to hide

Hide from the people

The pain that I see

Running from others

It’s all about me

Smash Those Windows

Destroy and obliterate

This selfishness inside

Show the world my state

I am so not perfect

I have to scream

I am really messed up

Things are not as they seem

Replace Those Windows

With clear glass panes

Allow others in my heart

To understand my pains

I will begin to look out

Get rid of this selfishness

Live a transparent life

And heal all this loneliness

Stained Glass Windows

Such a contradiction

Looking so pretty

Hiding what’s within

Stained Glass Windows

No longer control

Their lies are gone

From over my soul
