Secret

20 3 1
                                    

Buried deep within me
is a story never told.
A burden on my shoulders
heavier than gold.

Remaining in silence,
hiding with fright.
A secret I hold,
a secret I fight.

Each day I fear
that I will fail,
to keep it near
inside this jail,

This prison cell
I call my mind,
each day is hell,
each day is blind.

They can not know,
they will not know.
I'll never let
my secret show.
