TOO MUCH TO BEAR

"How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask... And when is it all just too much to bear?"

Here again I have ripped my own heart

Unbearable pain from the sharp dart

Got up to leave but just right fell in

Bruised and shattered deep within

…And when it’s too much too bear

Guilt stricken, disturbed with heavy load

Tears crash onto the floor of life’s road

Enduring this war of continuous regrets

Negative voices have become my threats

…And when it’s too much too bear

Groping in the dark to find a ray of hope

I rage in frustration beyond I can cope

I can hardly breathe; barely surviving

Trying so hard to escape from drowning

…And when it’s too much too bear

I’m not strong; I stumble when others run

Mostly all by myself; conversing with none

Millions of memories they rush and come

To that part of me which is dead and numb

…And when it’s too much too bear

And my heart cries, I wait for pain to melt

Surrendering all at the cross I have knelt

Gathering the pieces of my heart I bring

To You my Master, my Saviour, my King

…And when it’s too much too bear

He bears my burden
