Secret
Secretly, I wish to be a norm;
A poster girl for Herbal Essences,
A model strong enough to walk
Down the catwalk.
Secretly, I hope my sister conquers all
And takes me away to where I canx
Actually sleep on cotton clouds.
Secretly, I wish I could not wake
Up in the middle of the night to leave
My home one night and not return for weeks
Secretly, I let a secret slip and I told
You all my secrets of my indiscrete life.
Please don’t tell my secrets to
Even your closest friends.
Because secretly, I would be jealous
For I have no friends to tell my secrets too.
Secretly I want to rip out all my IVs, please
Hold my hair back as my daily reactions occur
Secretly I want to secretly escape this life
And live a life of impulse and carelessness,
But of course these are just few of the many
Secrets I hold secretly in my weakened heart.
