The Burden

Carlos Hernandez 1987

Sitting down, feeling drowned, whilst starting at the ground.
I imagine my worst fear, seeing it clear, wishing it would disappear.
But it won’t go away, it shall always stay, so I get up an pray.
I pray to Gods Son, apologizing for the dumbs things I’ve done.
Asking him, to forgive my sins, promising to never sin again.
