My Secret

I have a secret. Dark and deep A skeleton that I intend to keep Only the pages of my journal know Only the scars of my tears show It’s my secret. And I hold it tight Despite the fact that it blocks my light Sometimes I try to forget that it’s there Somehow try to act like I don’t care But it’s an important secret that I hold Along with the heavy weight of its load Most would be horrified if they knew, Even had an idea of what I go through So this secret, I have to keep to myself Keep pushing it back further on the shelf It haunts me, and it hurts so much Wounds so deep, no light will touch But it’s my secret, I can’t give it away But what will happen to me if it stays? I’ve given enough hints, so I would think That someone would find the missing link My secret, it’s there to be found I just wish someone would look around. 1:11am 3-8-2012
