Shhhhhh

I have a secret I keep it buried inside It teases and taunts me Strips me of pride Just when I'm happy Can finally see the sun It awakens with vengeance Let's me know it's not done Always there in the back of my head I just want to kill it Make it dead The power it has over me Will surely one day break my soul I try to forget it I scream for it to go But I'm afraid if it leaves me I'll be all alone After all of these years It's all that I've known Maybe deep down I get pleasure from its pain Until I figure that out Locked away it will stay..

until you speak it, you will feel the pain of that secret....until you find peace, the pain will never cease....until you find hope, the pain will always choke....and until you face the fact, the pain will forever be a monkey on your back....very inspiring and profound lisa....;)
