So dark, so deep, the secrets that you keep

Secrets, they linger inside of you 
like a burning ball of fire 
that you want to unleash into the world. 

Secrets, they sit as words 
hiding in your journal
that only you read 
and hide from all those around you 

secrets, they feel like weights 
that pull you down to the ground 
and those secrets
sometimes all you want to do is dump in the garbage 
or toss them in to the ocean

secrets, 
they can be good at times 
and other times you just don’t want to have secrets.   

Secrets, so dark 
Why do I have to keep you inside of me? 
Secrets so dark, 
Why can I not just get rid of you 
So I can be as free as an Eagle in the sky?
