Secrets

A million things swimming around in my head.
Things I could say that should never be said.

Things I could tell that you’d never believe.
Things that I’ve seen that are too far to see.

Things that I’ve heard that are not made of sound.
Things that I know which have never been found.

Things that could change the world. Things that could heal.
Things that would terrify were they revealed.

Things of the type based on all that I’ve seen,
are best left unspoken and kept in between

myself and the one who has shown them to me.
The one who keeps whispering continually.

In my mind they’re all swimming, an ocean too vast
to contain it all so… I’ll risk all that have.
