Unashamed

For All It's Worth

Written April 10, 2011; dedicated to the unashamed

She smiles, she laughs, she's kind

She's strong, she's wild, she's wise 

Is that what you see looking through your eyes? 

I'd like to say that all those facts are true

But I bet there's some things that you never knew

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep

Sometimes the pain is just too deep

Sometimes I wish I were a kid again 

Sometimes I want my life to end 

Sometimes I use music to escape 

Sometimes I dance to feel awake 

Sometimes I envy other girls

Sometimes I'm afraid of the entire world 

I may be blunt, and saying too much

But at least I have the courage and the guts 

Don't be a fool and say it's not true

That none of those lines can apply to you

I've failed, I've screamed, I've dreamed, I've lost

I've lied, I've lusted, and I payed the cost 

I'm a mess, deranged and broken inside 

From my fears and scars I cannot hide

But I'll fight them all with everything I own 

At least I know that I'm not alone 

Inside this broken heart of mine 

I carry a love so deep and divine 

It gives me hope and the will to survive 

It's the only thing that keeps me alive

When I'm weak it holds my hand

When I'm lost it helps me understand 

It heals the scars and breathes life into my soul

In shaky waters it gives me control 

It takes away my guilt and shame 

It's because this love I'll never be the same 

Such a great gift, but for what the price? 

That, my friend, was the blood of Jesus Christ 

Long ago He gave His life for you and Me

So that I may live to tell you this story 

I'm alive because the price He payed 

Accepting Him was the best decision I ever made 

Now I may be this broken mess that you see

But at least I'm forgiven and have been set free

I wish you the best on your journey on earth 

He loves you like crazy, for all it's worth 

Sincerely,

Stephanie
