Behind the Surface Bravado

i may appear like I'm one independent lady loving the taste of new-found freedom

but behind the surface bravado,

I am just one homesick daughter, sister, friend

yearning to be back home to the people I love most.

Sure, I was dying to get away from the

nagging mother,

the annoying sister

and the overprotective father

but truth be told?

i'd rather be nagged at

be annoyed

be overprotected

than be miles away from them.

i am used to drama

just not this kind

absolutely not this kind.

I can't remember the last time I felt brave. But still, I know all things are happening according to the Master's will. I may be a torn soul right now but this too shall pass. I know this too will pass.
