The shroud of sorrow is thick enough to hide all fear, 
and its weight conceals guilt. 
But after a time it becomes like skin, 
clinging tight to the body. 
If it is allowed to reach this point,
 the only way to remove it is by ripping and tearing each strand apart. 
As the cloth becomes frayed people begin to see that you no longer wish to hide from the world,
 and help you in your struggle to lift the veil of darkness from your life..
