Gently Lay The Burden Down

Gently
Lay the burden down 
Caress it softly
Hear the ground moan quietly
From the weight you laid down

Feel no anger, no remorse
Your work is done
You’ve travelled the entire course
Now, you are the one
To show the way.

Not deviating 
No 
Not today.

Me

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me

I found

Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

The One

I march ahead
Leaving no trace, no dread.

Heading to an unknown grace
To a place I can be the one.

 The only one who loves this person
The one I will become.

I Am The One

I am the one
Who knows me best.

I am the one
I must trust to be the best.

I am the one for me to love.

I am the one
To fill my heart
With nothing but the best.

I am the one who knows.

I am the one.
