Worry and constant questions keep you awake in the night.
Lies refuse to let you rest,
and secrets force you to hide it all when daylight comes.

A smile at the person walking by,
and a sip of your coffee so you don’t have to talk.
Last night was rough,
but with the makeup you put on,
no one can tell.

How could they?
The mask covers everything.

And you could fool them all,
make them believe everything’s okay.
But not God.
He knows.
Every tear, every laughter, every dream, and frustration.  
And he’s not going to give up on you.
