Certain Things

Certain things must stay under lock and key. No one wants to know who persecuted me. Like a car crash or disaster, we avert our eyes. Must not lift the lid on all those lies. Bury hurt of twenty years deep inside my heart. Thought talking about it would be a start. Certain things must stay under lock and key. No one wants to know who persecuted me.
