Secret



Buried deep within our dark private souls
All hold something that cannot be released
Something that has held dreaded roles
Upon our lives it changed our goals
Thus cannot be said until we've deceased

From glee to sin
A turnaround
A win
A grin
Becomes a frown

For the importance of these silent words
Hold greatly dear to all it entails
As people just like talking birds
Release the words in droves and herds
With a word called friend it's meaning failed

A worth of trust
A price too high
For lust
For must
As friends say bye

Thus next time you hear a secret remark
Keep the words to you don't sing like a lark
The bond of friendship this shall grow
As inside yourself you shall know
That bright light called trust will never get dark
