Some secrets are dark;
Even dangerous.
Don’t you spill a word,
The world will turn against you.
Some secrets are deadly;
Even engulfing.
Drowning in your own poison,
You can’t let anybody see.
Most secrets are shameful;
Even sinful.
Afraid of the consequences,
You’d rather self-harm.
All secrets are untellable;
Even deadly.
After all why would you,
Give others a chance to destroy you?
All secrets are secrets,
Tightly bolted shut.
Until one day someone walks in,
And screws your feelings up.
