I have masks...
They try to hide me,
But sometimes I b-r-e-a-k out.
I come here to express myself and my surroundings. This is my only way anymore to say what I feel. Sometimes it's very hard to. Sometimes it's simply easy. Sometimes you won't get it, and sometimes you will. I will take no offense if you do not like my work. Because if you don't, I learned to just not care anymore.
;.If you review me, then I will most certainly look at yours and review yours. Keep that in mind.;

Lyrics:
I was searching nearly all my life/For something I could feel inside/Walkin’ through a world of pain/And then I called His name/And I heard a voice inside my heart/One I never heard before/Then His spirit opened up my eyes/Down on bended knees I cried/And../I thank God He found me/Now Heaven’s all around me/Sweet Jesus…/gave His love to me/Sweet Jesus…/died and set me free/Once I was lost and in doubt of it all/But now I believe in…/sweet Jesus…/Like a sparrow on a windy day/I was tryin’ to fly in vain/Didn’t know if I could make it home/Not until I saw Him calm the storm/Now my shelter is His endless love/Standing on the rock of blood/Now my life is living proof/Of what the Son of God can do/They gathered at the gravesite/Just to find an opened stone/And they all rushed in to see/But He was risen and gone!/Now He’s living on and on!" --Sweet Jesus by True Vibe
