Secrets

Something lies deep inside
A secret you want to keep 
You toss and turn late at night 
It wakes you while you sleep
You try to hide whats locked inside
And make it go away
But beneath the skin you locked it in 
The secret kept at bay
You held it in, but it's out again
To terrorize your dreams
You thought you held it deep inside 
But it's broken out it seems
Without a care you stand and stare
The thoughts rip through your head
With all the things that fill your mind 
And secrets left unsaid
So roll the dice and pay the price
The secrets take thier toll
There is nothing left that you can do 
And no one to save your soul

Steve D Crabtree

I have a Secrets poem....and i understand what is being said here....I hide all my secrets, and it never letsme rest....then you gain other people's secrets, and they eat you up....You need to release you secrets before you contain in others.....so it's okay to trust someone to tell them to.
