Quiet Things

secrets:
undercover
information that tries
to remain unnoticed.  they're a
tease, when their fingerprints are found where they
should not be.  always suitors of 
mysteries, they dine and
dance with what is
hidden.

don't tell
what is on your
mind; it gives you away.
show the opposite of what you
feel.  you just might save your own neck or that
of someone else.  secrets may help
you keep your friends but not
always inner
peace.  shhh!
