Come Clean!

I've learned that most of the time, we all want to portray our 'best face'… put our ‘best foot forward’! No one wants the world to see their bad side...not on purpose anyway! So we put up a façade; masking the real person.

Are you being true to yourself or those you come in contact with? Do you have a corner of your life that reeks of disarray and disorganization? Do you think to hide your imperfections like wearing makeup, display good character traits? Do you fear getting ‘found out’ so you continue to hide at whatever costs? What portion of your life are these deficiencies displayed? At work, in the desk drawer? At home, in the closet or on that junk table? Surely your flaws they are not visible to the naked eye? When will you finally come out? It’s bound to happen, so why hide? The REAL you will eventually come through, so just come clean!

No matter what you say

No matter what you do

That which you keep in the dark

Is really a reflection of you

You can’t always hide behind a curtain

Stuff you think won’t be seen

Cause when you least expect it

A visitor’s gonna come clean

About how things really look

And it’s ALL about you

They won’t say it to your face

But the truth will come through

And let a visitor open a closet

Which exposes a whole lot

Wow! Do you or do you not have junk?

Is there even a clean spot?

 Be it a secret,

Or be it known

Indiscretions aren't always discrete

If overexposed or shown

Get real, get ready

Make a change, keep it steady

Get it done, make strides

Cause obviously what think you hid

You really didn't hide

In essence what you “don’t” do

Comes out, Comes clean

And says a lot

About you!
