Transparent – v3

I want to live my life transparent,
to admit my scars, my stains,
where I am broken, jagged,
to be fully, totally, honest,
to free me of their power
the lies, the curses over me,
their control over my life…
 
I want to be transparent,
with myself, and all others,
to be open, brutally honest,
to be emptied, to be filled,
to be a witness to God's grace,
God's love for every prodigal,
everyone broken like me...
 
I strive to be transparent,
the truth of my sins, my failing,
the scars, the weights I have carried,
with every word I offer, my words,
authentic, real, true and open,
so that others will find peace,
living their lives transparent too…
