Awakening
there is a tragedy within me
that i have been burdened to carry throughout my years
it has weighed on me heavy
yet i carried it and continued to move forward
everytime that burden multiplied
and as my load got heavier
i still endured
and i still progress along my path
i've wasted many words
trying to voice my woes upon the ears of deaf listeners
in attempts to gain understanding
of what this life entails
but emptiness befalls me
and still i walk alone
there were times when i couldn't fathom
taking another step towards my destination
but something much stronger than the will i was equipped with
softly pushed me on my way
and as my pace began to quicken
the bale slowly became lighter
and the lighter it became
the faster i raced towards the light that was ahead of me
and i became more steadfast
and i started to feel divergent
there was something in me that i never knew was there before
all i could do was smile because i myself had no control anymore and
i started lifting my hands and
i started to speak a name that sounded familiar and
the more i spoke of Him the lighter my load became and
i started to praise Him more and more and
blessings rained down upon me like never before and
i'm crying tears of joy because i now know the truth and
i feel a rebirth throughout my entire body and
suddenly i knew
that He'd been there all along and
every time i'd felt like stopping he kept me going and
i can feel His love for me and now i can say
Thank You Jesus for showing me the way
