Secrets

Hold in a secret Long enough to explode Hold in a tear Cause your pain is never told Expose yourself for the victim I don't want to be And expose the reason No on could ever love me Die inside long before my time Hold everything killing me in tight Then ask for my savior to care That my life isn't what it should be Hoping for a chance to change is hoping for nothing No change can come from this It's too late for regrets, too late for change My secrets will longer live Inside a mind that died Inside a heart that cried And inside a mouth that led

Hi Janet; after having read your latest bio, I can now understand the meaning behind these lines. It is time to look to the future; never say "No on could ever love me". As you said in another comment, you can be a survivor and not a victim. I wish you all the best. // paul

Thank you so much Paul. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to this. But yeah at the time I felt unloveable. As they say, you have to love yourself before you can be loved. I've made it now. Thanks so much
