I have tried beyond all efforts, to forget the secrets I hold deep within the confines of both my heart and my mind.  I found it too tiresome to continue and now all I want to so is lay down and rest.

I awake and feel no relief from the pain these secrets spawn upon my life.  My head begins to spin and I begin to feel as though I am no longer in control of where I am heading; I break to find my chance at freedom.

I stop in the middle of nowhere, my heart pounding and my lungs gasping for air.  I turn and realize I know not where I am, only where I have been.  Ahead lays darkness and I move forward frightened and blind.

I struggle to break free of the blackness all around me and I feel a hand pulling me back.  I kick and scream while it tears me apart.  There is no one else to save me as I look back for one last hope; Oh Lord, please help me!

Suddenly, as the final word of my plea fell from my lips, I felt the warmth of salvation wrap around me and pull me free.  Upon His shoulders my burdens sat and then a revelation came racing over me.

I now see where my strength derives from, for without my Lord and Savior to guide and protect me, to lift and carry me, there will be yet another just one step behind me, trying his best to claim my soul and torture me for all eternity.
