A poem by Donna Campbell
If I seem like I’m in another place
I am, I have no scars, anxieties, or material cares
In my dream my genuine smile brings love and joy
I live in the separate world of my own inner space
And pain is also absent but all friends and love disappear
I’m terrified that this imaginary life could be destroyed
I’m dreaming of a different me with a better face
I know the false blue sky can’t answer my prayers
It can’t grant me beauty like that of Helen of Troy
Oh Lord, His truth crashes this imperfect façade
These scars are earned and make me stronger
His love envelops me and changes my heart
In His goodness and tenderness I am awed
He gives me hope and maybe I can hold on longer
But He says “Let go we will never ever part”
He answers, He gives, He loves, Oh my God!
In Him, my Lord there is nothing He won’t conquer
I’m awake and more beautiful than any piece of art
