Surrender

I, in a culture,
Touting masks that don't fit,
Find peace now, in panic,
Found courage to quit,
Declaring the difference,
Of sinner or saint,
Sacred or spoiled,
Of Shadow or paint.

' Wearing masks that don't fit. ' That's a powerful statement and it speaks truth. Your thoughts say so much, Braden. My best to you. ~ Brandy
