YOU DON'T SEE

You look
But you don't see
What it took
For me, to be me
You only see
The outside
Dressed up
Looking good
But you can't see
The scars hidden inside of me
You can't see the strength
It took to go on
To overcome, to be strong
You look
But what do you see
The part that's exposed
For everyone to see
Or can you truly see
The beauty of me
The broken pieces
Healed back into place
The depths of pain
Touched by His grace
The hole left inside
Filled with His love
Now that's the me
That I'm speaking of
Because I'm alive
I'm still among the living
And God's got a plan
For every breath that I'm breathing
I guess it never mattered
What people thought of me
I'm here to live and thrive
And to give Him all the glory
