original sin of hiding.

original sin from Adam and Eve

hiding behind bushes and trees

we only let out

what we want others to know

but the rest is unsaid

our heaviest load

we're sure not to trigger

but we let out tiny breaths

so someone can hear

the pound in our chest

the heart was created

to flow in and through

but no one discovers

our fears and our truths

or we replace what was given

and fill it with time

constantly running

but no feelings in line

everything mismatched

the order destroyed

rushing to leave

what was so long void

replacing the answers

with questions to hope on

knowing the answer

was something we choked on

we take from beginning

the shame of our sin

and put up a wall

not letting others in

we take pride in showing

only our best

but in each of us is a gap

from failing the test



oh weary one, in Him you find rest

oh weary child, come and confess

for a Love is much higher above your head

with peace to bring rude silence to bed

in Him your longing if blissfully fed



come out

come out

it just takes a thread
