" A Keeper of Secrets"

I hold stories
Too heavy for daylight 
And too sacred for the careless 
Hands.

Some cut.
Some heal.
Some stay buried  

I'm not quite-
I'm chosen
Shadow remembers,
Soul decides. 

I keep what must be kept,
A guardian of bone-deep
Truth 
And the lessons that live
Beneath it.

Every secret I carry
Is a warning,
A witness,
A map.

Keeper of Secrets.
