The burden I carry is a secret,
A secret that I hate to carry.
This secret is not only one,

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.

Its a huge weight on my chest;
