A weight I bore, a hidden plight,

That dimmed the sun and stole the light.

A secret held, a whispered plea,

That choked the joy from out of me.

But shadows fade, and dawn appears,

As truth unfurls and dries the tears.

The words released, a cleansing rain,

That washes clean the inner pain.

The burden gone, the spirit free,

A brand new day for only me.
