The Weight of Unshared Burdens
The Weight of Unshared Burdens
I'm carrying a secret,
One I can't share.
If I told anyone,
They'd be filled with despair.
It locks away my thoughts,
And shadows all my days.
A silent storm inside,
Lost in a winding maze.
I'm afraid of what they'll think,
Of how they'll react.
I don't want to hurt them,
So I'll keep this to myself.
The truth could shatter bonds,
And break the fragile trust.
So I will wear this mask,
Because I know I must.
I'm carrying this burden,
All alone.
It's heavy and it's painful,
But I know I can't let it go.
No shoulder to lean on,
No hand to guide my way.
I walk this lonely road,
Further into the gray.
I need to find a way to deal with this,
To find a way to cope.
I can't keep living like this,
With this secret weighing me down.
I search for just a spark,
To clear this heavy air.
To find some inner peace,
And ease this dark despair.
