Secrets

I'm the center of everyone's secrets

I have the puzzle complete

While others look for lost pieces

I accept all their burdens upon my shoulders

But who would have guessed they all would have been connected

As secret upon secret

Piles on top of me

The lines drew closer and finally

The picture was drawn

People fall into traps they create

I can choose to tell them where the traps are

But risk their trust in me to grow old

I can choose to flat out tell them how the traps were made

But they would still get caught in them

Why do people create their mistakes

Only to hope I would make them better

To hope I would take them all in a warm hug

Yet their secrets only create the tension for me

Why drag me into your selfish schemes

I scream and jet through all the hands trying to stop me

Fingers thread through my hair gently

Only to pull back roughly

Why must I know

What you want to know

But I must not complain

Since I know I help you

But you don't know what your secrets do to me
