In my weakness...

Dear God~
I try to be strong, maybe too strong.
It's not easy to admit I am weak.
I know I am weak. 
You know I am weak.
But this world views weakness differently.

So I learned to hide behind a wall.
Independence displayed.
Pain hidden.
Smiles replacing tears.
Restlessness instead of sleep.

You know the real me.
You recognize weakness.
You understand pain.
You are aware of unfallen tears.
You observe sleepless nights.

Yet...You love me.
You hold me.
You comfort me.
Your compassion surrounds me.
Your strength sustains me.
You give me hope..now...forever♥~thl
