From the Outside

It’s not as perfect as it seems
From the outside looking in

You see pictures of happy faces
Not tears, nor scars, nor sin

From the inside looking out
It’s a very different picture

Within, are desperate cries for help
Without, they’re only but a whisper

Within, are battles for my soul
Without, they’re only but a whimper

My savior hears them all
And never fails to give an answer

“It is finished” he cried
As his blood removes this cancer
