&quot;This is what it is, this is who I am<br /> This is where I finally take my stand<br /> I didn&#039;t wanna fall but I about to crawl<br /> I met the one with two scarred hands&quot;<br /> <br /> -Newsboys, Born Again

Behind all that innocence
Is hidden rage
Never to be uncovered

Behind all that innocence
Is a scab so old
Never to be picked again

Behind all that innocence
Is heart-wrenching pain
Never to be worsened

Behind all that innocence
Is a truly amazing girl
Never to be revealed

Behind all that innocence
Is a person
Never to truly live

I saw my sister, always so happy and perfect, just breakdown, screaming and crying, blaming everybody but herself for everything wrong. I thought about, behind all that innocence, is imperfection.
