Release the Burden

I know what they did to you. The hidden lies. The wounds cut through. I saw the way they spoke your name, Then smiled as they caused you pain. I saw betrayal take its place, The silent tears upon your face. The nights you broke with no one near, Still trying hard to persevere. You never had to speak a word To make your suffering be heard. Before your heart could even cry, I understood the reason why. I watched in silence from above. I covered you with unseen love. And though you thought that I was far, I stood beside each broken part. What they intended for your fall, I am restoring through it all. What they attempted to destroy, I will rebuild with greater joy. You will not carry this always. I am healing hidden pain. Restoring peace back to your soul, Until the fractured heart is whole. And what was whispered in the dark, What they concealed and played in secret parts, Will not forever hidden stay… For truth has light that finds its way. So let it go. Release the fight. You do not have to make this right. Lay down the burden. Trust in Me. I fight the battles you can’t see. For vengeance has no place in you. I know the hurt. I saw it too. And while they thought they caused defeat, I was preparing stronger feet. One day you’ll look behind and see What felt like ruin rescued thee. Because sometimes I allow the pain To break the chains you could not break. So do not fear what came to pass. Not every loss was meant to last. For I am with you through the fire, Restoring all they once conspired. -AIG
