When was the last time you had a bad day?

Did you pretend that everything was okay?

Were you wearing a happy mask,

Hoping someone cared enough to just ask?

Some people never seem to have a hard time,

And appear to always be in their prime.

In reality they have struggles too,

They are desiring love just like you.

So instead of automatically pasting a smile on your face,

Your insecurities you should embrace.

Respect each person and don’t hold a grudge;

You are not faultless either, so do not judge.

God desires us to be real with one another,

And accept every person as a sister or brother.

Everyone has an Achille’s heel,

So why can’t we all just be real?
