A New Look
- Sean Branscum
She looks into the mirror
nothing is as she wishes
she wants to look perfect
like those on television
black mascara runs down her cheeks
sick to her stomach
wanting to die
she looks up
hoping to see God
and see if He is real
falling to her knees
she cries out to the Lord she once knew
she picks up the razor
brings it to her wrist
a feeling of comfort sweeps over her
dropping the razor
she begs God to help her
she sees an old drawing
of her and her parents
with a cross behind them
she drew it years ago
praying to God to forgive her and take her back
to when she was so in love with Him
she lay on her bedroom floor all night
crying and praying
feeling so free but tired
she walks a new walk
and is beautiful
even to herself
but most of all to God.
