Keeping Secrets

Deep within the walls of my soul are hidden secrets that I have never told, Some are new, and some are decades old, I don’t think the day will ever come when I dare to be bold, So, they will have to remain sealed and permanently on hold. Secrets are a burden of great weight, The power of secrets can build bridges and seal fates. Behind closed doors, hushed confessions, spilt no longer kept deep inside, Oh, how I wished I hadn’t made it so easy for them to unload and confide. Being a keeper of secrets makes me feel different and uneasy, a pledge given, never to break but to honour an oath of trust, I realise these secrets will have to be buried deep beneath the earth’s crust. by Zyrool
