The Secrets We Keep
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The walls we build
To protect ourselves
The secrets we keep
From everyone else
The pain that no one feels
Is kept to one's self
The spirit that hurts
From countless whelps
The truths we hide
Shielded from everyone's eyes
Screams that no one will ever hear
Secrets buried deep ~ in me
Are of all the tears
That became soundless cries
