The weight of all my sins have bore down upon me, building upon my back and I’ve been bending. For months, for years, I have bent. Springing back came so easy, I thought I was fine. I swore I was fine. I convinced myself I was fine. I promised I was fine. I was not fine.
The weight of all my sins came crashing down. Piling high all around my heels, my knees, my waist. Caving in around my chest. I thought I was breathing. I swore I was breathing. I convinced myself I was breathing. I promised myself I was breathing. I was not breathing.
The weight of all my sins came before me. Presenting to me what I have walked away from. Reminding me of who I used to be. I thought I was healed. I swore I was healed. I convinced myself I was healed. I promised I was healed. I was not healed.
Here are the weight of all my sins. Laid out all around me. Driving me insane. Telling me I will stay the same. Reminding me I will stay the same. Swearing to me I will stay the same. Promising me I will stay the same. I will not stay the same.

Illuminated
How hard is it to see from the other side? To put your feet in another’s shoes, to feel what they’ve felt? You’ve experienced so much through your years, not unlike theirs. Your heart has felt their pain, their love, their laughter, their sorrow. Your soul has danced the steps beautifully, graciously.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
