Secrets

Binding, painful, burning deep inside
No one knows, can ever know
Hurting, heartache, painful times
No one can hear, no one to tell
Biting, eating, things untold
Keeping in the darkest parts
Lies, Forbidden
Breaking hearts
Falling deeper
In the pit
Lower, Sinking
Deeper now
Darkness covers everything
No way out, trapped inside.

Tears unshed, they start to fall
Telling one thing, telling all
Guilty pastimes are revealed
Learning that it's not my fault
Knowing it's not just mine to bear
Hoping it's okay to tell
Grieving with the people near
Praying it is over soon
Calling on the One to hear
Hear me calling
See me crying

Dry the tears
Heal the pain
You can make me new again
Break these binds
That keep me hurting
Tear these ropes
That keep me fighting
Learn to love
Learn to hope
Learn to see the light again

Forgiveness taking over hate
Patience taking over time
Prayers for the hurting ones
Love for the thoughtful ones
Hope for life, Live for the moment

It's over now. The secret's out.
Starting over, fresh, brand new
Okay to laugh, it's fine to feel

Renewed.........
