most of my life I have tried to keep
appearances and show the world
that I was a strong confidant young man
I smiled my polite smile as I was dying inside,
so afraid to share with any other human being
all the shame and guilt I kep buried deep inside
I have a fellowship of people today,
where our common weakness unites us
and we find strength in mutual vulnerability
when I embrace my weakness,
I allow God to enter into me
through my wounds
how easily I forget along with the rest of the world
that God chose to meet us face to face in weakness,
in a flesh like mine
