Secrets, like invisible snakes, can slither, coil and entwine themselves throughout our souls. We can mentally ignore the small garden-variety secrets, with ease in our daily lives. While some are like cobras, their venom poisoning every daily thought and interaction with friends and family. They are spirit crushers that suck the joy out of us until we contemplate suicide or turn inward to madness and escape. Secrets made with the best of intentions, when resurfacing can be lethal for those they were to protect. Family secrets are the most venomous of all.
