I took hold of a secret,
Handfuls of trust,
Seeping through my fingers,
It’s hard to hold on,

So slippery,
It’s burning my palms,
I have to let it fall,
Into another’s hands.

We must read the lines before we read between the lines.

..."burnt palms"...seems to be a common thread between many...I like this...

"...don't ever stop loving, don't ever stop believing, don't ever stop dreaming your dreams..."
Warmly...

As a person who holds many confidences for various reasons...I find this very interesting...

and am glad I've not yet been burned....

A well done point.   It is difficult to hold so much in sometimes, but it is something we must do for those who trust us.
