Secrets

Secrets deep inside my soul
Screaming to be told
Haunt me night by night
Taunting me and yelling in my head

The secrets that are hidden
deep inside the safe
Are being picked at.

The codes are being cracked, the locks- broken.
The secrets I wished to never be known
are slowly being stolen, one by one.

The one cracking the codes
is the one I fear most to find my secrets
and share them to the world.

Fear overwhelms my nights.
Fear of what they might find,
keeps me tossing and turning
with pain and heartache.

It keeps me wanting to run and hide.
Hide from my friends and family.
Hide from myself, deep inside
with only my secrets.
