We care, please come out

You've decided it's better to lock yourself inside, 
you believe it's where you would find solace,
you are afraid of what others will find, 
your life is overrun by self-malice.


To be upright is your heart's desire, 
but you've failed to realize this goal,
your striving seemed to work for awhile, 
but now your heart's black as coal.

Two-faced you've realized is what you are, 
you masquerade as if all is fine
You are weighed down by your fake smile, 
you're restless and have no peace of mind.

For too long now you been hiding away
while the pain of doing so has you in despair,
afraid of being scorned and turned away,
please know that some of us really care.

We know you are afraid to let it out,
it's hard to do but please do try,
we've been there to and felt the way you do,
no need to bottle it all inside.

We will be here and won't go away,
we are each other's helping hand,
and God is with you all the way,
he loves you, and you are part of his plan. 

No matter how you feel or see yourself,
staying locked inside only leads to death,
so come out, come out from where you are,
and receive new life from God's breath.
