"It's exhausting to hold onto something,
            That was never meant to stay... "

Did my strength lie behind,
The tears I kept hidden?
Did it lie alongside,
The flaws I'd forgiven?

Did it flourish in the sacrifices,
I made for their sake?
Did it thrive in the feelings,
which I put at stake?

Did it exist, interlaced,
With the words left unsaid ,
Did it hide with the worries
which burdened my head?

Did it leave like the people,
             for whom I had grieved?

Did it die,with the lies
                   Which I once believed?
 



Thank you....
