i have been walking around feeling heavy

lately......

working hard and holding up

someone

for way too long.

 

yet even if i put them down

i still felt heavy

on my back.

 

 

one day i looked into the mirror

and to my surprise,

there was an elephant on my back.

 

 

i always wondered how heavy an elephant was.

 

 

 

I discovered that not only was I holding someone up for too long,

i was trying to hold up our whole world.

 I may be strong,

but not that strong.

 

 

so i have laid it all down.... on a hill way high

called Calvary.

 

 

and I have walked away free.
