Day 342 - It is mine.

I have a battle and

I carry it with me every day.

It weighs me down and I tire and cry.

I carry it with me every day.

Romans reminds me that we all have a burden.

Some carry it within their soul or among their secrets.

I carry it with me every day.

I fight the temptation and fall short time and time again.

I carry it with me every day.

Because it is with me and on me and it shows.

I am reminded of it constantly.

I carry it with me every day.

Sometimes I pray for help and mercy.

But if it wasn’t this, what would it be.

My sin is mine. As heavy as it may be, I can manage.

I carry it with me every day.

I look around at others and see,

I would not want their weights,

I could not handle what they carry,

Mine seems incomprehensible to many but

I carry it with me every day.

I need to do better.

I cannot accept.

I cannot give in.

But life’s lessons come in the most peculiar ways,

and I learned to be who I am because

I carry it with me every day.
