We've all got secrets
By Michelle Morris

I've got a secret
I never will share with the world
But maybe if I trust you one day
I'll unburden my heart and soul

You've got a secret
You hide it deep in your mind
You bury it in a box in your soul
But your eyes show the pain inside

We've all got secrets...

Some are emotions keeping us down 
Some are mirrors of our regrets
Some are Darkness inherited from DNA
Some are experiences we hope to forget 

But when we pause and let it flow
When we allow the Light and Hope to shine brightly
So often the Darkness dissipates
Because enlightenment gives us clarity

Sometimes it takes a heart-to-heart
Sharing our Truth to someone we can trust
Realising that if we change our perceptions
The guilt and pain is released into dust

Sometimes a perfect stranger
Will transform our trauma into joy
Sometimes they'll help heal the pain
And allow it to breathe a little more

Whatever your secrets and lies
Whatever your Truth and soul path
Know that each creature experiences Life
The trick is to embrace our own heart

So, maybe I've got my secrets
Maybe you've got yours
But let's try to remember that secrets
Is how so many people get held underwater

Let's free ourselves and our skeletons
Nothing should ever try to live in a closet
And baggage is a waste of time and energy
Let's travel light, for anything is possible

You and I deserve joy and happiness
Fun and laughter and smiles
Our lives are capable of magic and miracles
So take my hand and let's enjoy the ride
