A Secret

Touch your feelings if you dare

Try to find the calm

Listen to your inner voice

Trust it, believe it, it’s your sixth sense

Use it for guidance, make it your choice

BUT KEEP IT A SECRET

Draw strength from your individuality

It’s what makes us unique, we all feel the same

The courage to face what you feel can cause pain

Don’t escape with the excuse we call blame

SO KEEP IT A SECRET

Lessons are hard learned

Only benefitting those concerned

Honesty is the most difficult path

If you are willing to face societies wrath

REMEMBER, THIS IS A SECRET

Hatred, jealousy, low self-esteem

All are really just internal fear

When you find it too overwhelming

Simplify your purpose so it becomes clear

BUT IT IS A SECRET

If one by one we would share

Fear could be replaced with support and care

Choose with caution those you confide

Most prefer to keep it inside

SO KEEP IT A SECRET

Is there anyone whom you find fit

 to share with you, your secret?
