i have a secret

it doesn't bother me, though

most people have deep, dark secrets

that haunt them

and make them quake at the very thought of them

but mine doesn't

it's simply a thought

a flicker


until it isn't


if i hinted at what my secret is, i wouldn't mind

and if i told you straight up, you'd only need to wash your hands


keeping it inside is the hardest part

it consumes me until its gravity becomes so strong that i

collapse

in

on

myself


i don't know why i haven't hinted at it or told anyone what it is

it'd definitely lighten the load

but gravity swallows lights


maybe i'm waiting until i collapse in on myself
