I’ve always lived a secret
Hush, Hush
Don’t tell

Kept to myself
All of me
Afraid I would lose it
If I opened up

It had to be strapped down
Where I could hold it
Where I could contain it
Or else it wouldn’t belong

I’ve never told anyone
The secret
I’ve tried
But only one version

The version that people would understand
The version that wouldn’t make me crazy
The version that appeased them
Let them be calm
While I raged

Its too late now
The secret is public
I get interviewed
Again, and again
Asking me to face it
But I deny it

Its been so long behind the cage
That it’s the only life I know
Another version
I’ve created specially for myself
A little something
For me
Myself
And I

But don’t tell anyone.
It’s a secret.

Hey PP no fair!!  Teasing like that!  If it is a secret email me.  For now you have sparked curiousity and concern. (HUGS)

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

We all have our secrets which nobody seems to know the depths of. You have captured it well. Great work.

Great secret.  I was hoping to know it but then you did not tell it.  That was unique and very well done.  As a reader and a secret holder somtimes a secret is better off kept in.  If you know what I mean...
