Secrets

Each secret we keep is weighed by the pound...
extra dark weight that we carry around.
Whether it's small or big doesn't matter,
the more that you keep...the more you'll get fatter.
The extra weight can be seen...
by the shrug of your shoulders,
or by the lonelier you get as you start to get older.
Why not set yourself free by trusting to share,
the peace that it gives you...there is none to compare.
Give it a try by starting out slow...
each time that you do...your weight loss will grow.
                                                                            P.R. Deremer
