Burdened by Secrets

Some secrets my soul have burdened and some I will take to my grave. But secrets involving people’s lives, have entrapped me in a cave. I am constantly worried sick and my black hair has turned grey.

Should I reveal the truth? What do I have to lose, or what good will I gain? I walk with a smile on my face, but the secrets I keep will bring others pain.

My true spirit runs wild, to guilt I can’t be enslaved. Is it fair to leave others in darkness, without shedding light on the truth? Or should I avoid causing harm and suppress the truth in its youth?

With chains I feel I am binded, but desperately need to break free. My heart tells me to speak, but my thoughts with my heart disagree . I wish I could break my binds and let the truth set me free.

My poor soul lives in despair, as my worry has reached it’s peek. I humbly ask the good Lord for guidance and his wisdom I do seek. If not for his mercy, I would have certainly died of fatigue.
