You Are Who I Need


I lay my sashes down
One by one at Your feet
All the letters and titles
That make me feel unique
The shoes, the jeans, that hat I don
Things that obscure my internal physique
I wipe away the residue of the day
Nude lipstick, a frown
Dark mascara, that crown
Broken, bruised and exposed
I hand over the keys to my home
My car, my heart, my life, and I weep
For You, Jesus are the only One
Who knows what I truly need.
