Taking the Lead

Frustration running
Leading me by the hand
Pulling away

But the hold is more intense than any other

I am tired
I want to stop
Lunging the opposite direction
I hit something
It is soft and smooth
I am not holding it

But I am being pulled

Both sides have hold
I want to go towards the soft way
But I can't seem to break free

"Just let go, come with me, just let go."

What do you mean, let go
I am not holding anything
Wait...I am holding something
I have been holding on all along
Am I that stupid, that naive
I just needed to let go

And let God lead.
