Secrets I Don’t Want

My heart can not tell a lie

I will say this

But my mind

Can spin a tale 

Faster than you can blink

Keeping everything

Deep inside

Trapped

For no reason.

One thing

In particular

Is kept deeply hidden

Beneath layers and layers of

Fluff

A giant concealed truth

Covered in misleading lies

And saying so

I must bare my heart

So my mind can't lie to you.

Hate

Is such a strong word

For one to use

About themselves

But here we are.

The need to hide the truth

Is deep

Primal

I can't let you

Know me

Letting you see me 

In any capacity

That leaves me open

Is death

But

That's what I wanted

Right.
