Keeping this secret is getting harder each and everyday
But keep it I must, for there just is no other way
To let it out, would only cause needless hurt and pain
So instead I lock it deep inside, I just wish for once it didn't have to rain

I had to find out the truth for myself, but he wouldn't understand
Amazing when I think about it, my entire destiny is held in the small palm of my hand
Tears fall down my cheeks, but I don't cry out openly where anyone can hear
I just brush away what seems an endless amount of tears

I'm not really strong, I just carry on from day to day
This secret is worth it though--much more than I can say
I know they say the truth will set you free, but not with he and I
Remembering simple times when I was just a kid, and he was just my Dad...I sigh

If ever he finds out what I've done, I truly won't know what to do
For now though I won't give away a single clue
So now I'm not really strong or very brave
This is just something I must take to my grave

***A few weeks ago I found my biological father (it's a very very long story) but I was adopted at the age of six and for as long as I can remember I've wondered about my bio family and past. However, I'm unable to tell my adopted Dad, because I know it would devestate him, and I can't bear to bring him that kind of pain. I had to do this for me though.***
