THE STONE I CARRY
THE STONE I CARRY YOU CANNOT SEE,
IT'S INSIDE MY BEING, NEVER TO LET FREE,
IT WAS NOT THERE THE DAY I WAS BORN...
IT TOOK PAIN AND SUFFERING
FOR THE WEIGHT TO FORM!
A LIFE OF BAD,SELDOM GOOD,
A LOVED ONE LOST, NEVER FULLY UNDERSTOOD.
SOME CAN HANDLE LIFE WITH EASE,.
. OTHERS CRY SHOW ME THE WAY PLEASE!
ALWAYS AFRAID AND HOLDING BACK,
STRENGTH AND COURAGE I KNOW I LACK.
THE WEIGHT I CARRY FROM ME
AT DEATH WILL.PART
FOR THAT HEAVY STONE I CARRY
ONCE WAS MY HEART.
