Out of nowhere, I begin to ache.
I feel as though I'm scared, or nervous,
Or maybe I've made a mistake.
I sit alone, in fear, and wonder
Why I hurt so bad. Is it just one thing,
Or is it all of the problems I've had?
So scared and painful, I want to cry.
It's like a lump in my stomach, or a knife
In my side… But really, I'm not sure why…
God, please remove this tumor of worry
And fear, and take away this burden
Upon my shoulders. Please, rescue me
From my endless flood of tears.
It's eating away at my soul –
Tearing a hole in my heart. How, Lord,
Did this mysterious agony come to start?
An evil burden is a disease,
Where the cause is never for sure.
All I can do now is wait…
Wait for God's grace, and for love – His cure.
