Poetry: Heavy burdens

by Megan Mcdiarmid

Created on: June 07, 2009

The burden I carry is a secret,

A secret that I hate to carry.

This secret is not only one,

but dozens of lies made up over time.

I am the only one who knows.

I am the only one who can tell when they are spoken.

I am the only one who can reveal the truth.

This burden has my shoulders weighed down,

and my chest feels as if it could collapse.

If i should tell this secret,

who am I to tell?

If i should make things right,

who would stay by my side?

If I should tell the world,

will any one still love me?

To tell god?

I know he wont love me.
