Whispers to the Sky

"Whispers to the Sky"

I used to carry shadows in my chest, heavy as sins,

Thought my secrets were safe where the angels begin,

But time taught me mercy’s a fragile, thin line,

A truth you unwrap, it's not yours to define,

I prayed to the silence, let my heart be the vault,

Every burden I held,

But the moment I speak what the stars used to keep,

The weight lifts, but so does the truth—no sleep.

A secret’s a prayer, meant for the divine,

Once you let it slip, the walls start to crumble,

It’s between you and God, let the heavens align,

Once it’s out, it’s a storm you can’t outrun,

Trust a human to be a human, flawed and undone,

But God? He’s the ceiling where whispers are done.

I saw my brothers fold, saw my sisters break,

Heard lies in the laughter, pain in the cake,

You think you can trust, but the tongue’s a sharp blade—

What you confide soft, they broadcast with pride,

A rumor’s a fire that starts from a spark,

Now the whole town’s lit by a truth they purloin,

I bled in the quiet, thinking it sacred,

Now I kneel in the mess, let my scars breathe light,

Some burdens are rivers—try to hold them, you’ll fight,

I let go of the lock, let the current run free,

Because God’s got the vault where my secrets still be,

If you think you’re alone with the truth in the dark,

Your not—He’s the first and the last, the sealed ark.

So I whisper to the sky what I used to suppress,

Knowing the stars don’t keep tabs, don’t charge rent on your stress.

A secret’s a hymn, a soul’s honest plea…

Between you and God, where the real you’s set free.
