Every House Has a Secret

Every house has a secret
Every secrets crack like  old paint brushes
 Years of hidden secrets can jeopardize our future
No matter how well kept
Unlike the true identity of Mona Lisa 
Some secret are best kept untold 
 
Within each house a heart is broken
 Each room is a constant daily reminder 
However, once it’s broken it’s impossible to fix
Secret and lies cause a sense of nagging conscience
We all need a chair in Washington 
To turn around and vouch for us
However, not this time, not this time
We the people have to make it happen

Yes it is true. . . . I will not be a "fly on the wall" It's probably both happy and bad things that happen behind closed doors. Very well written Annie. - oxox love Anne-Lise :)
