Boulders Upon My Shoulders
April 28, 2014
I've lied and I have deceived,
but I have done so well,
with the words that,
trickle from my mouth,
like venom seeking a victim.
I cringe as it happens,
and at night I cry,
and pray for forgiveness-
my sins run too deep,
and they cling to my soul.
I carry them,
with every step I take,
the boulders of deceit,
upon my shoulders.
One day-
I will be strong enough,
I will lift them from my broken back,
and my secrets will soar with the angels.
