I tried to place it all upon my back again
But this crushing weight was well beneath the skin
Panicking for the light, an inner struggle I fight
But then I realized that You could be the only way
This stanza is me in a nutshell. I am constantly trying to take things upon myself. It is truly exhausting and the weight truly does crush me sometimes trying to take so many things on. It is everything physical, like pushing myself too hard to be too involved, and things that are emotional, like trying to please everyone. I am constantly fighting to understand. And I have realized that God is the only way to accomplish anything. Because in God, all things are possible. But the next line of the stanza, the one that doesn't exist here, is that I may have realized it, but I haven't accepted it. I have the big problem with giving over my power. My prayer is to be able to 'finish the stanza' in my life and not just realize that I can trust God, but actually do it.
