"Playing By Myself"
You threw great parties and I was your child
You let me serve the guests one by one, and set the table
While you casually told them stories about life
I liked setting the table with you so much
You worked one on one with me for years
Helping me glue popsicle sticks together to make stairs
You helped me understand basic concepts
We worked together so well
When something unfortunate happened, my face
My face grew sickly and ugly over time
You grew more and more displeased over time
Until finally you quit your job
It was because my face was too ugly to love
It was scary to the point of being deformed
I often felt trapped within it and scared myself'
How could my physical body cause me so much pain
My health problem is my ugliness
I suffer because of it
So many times I have wanted to play with my friends
But they didn't want to play with me because I was ugly
Maybe God is trying to teach me something over time
But as for me, I'd rather go out and play
I'd rather walk in the light like everybody else
Instead I am playing by myself
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
