Secrets
Secrets hurt
they tear you up inside
and make you feel empty
they crush you until you are nothing
Secrets push you and push you closer to the cliff
and when you’re dangling by your fingertips
they keep you there
and watch you suffer
Secrets make sure that you can’t do anything to help yourself
All you can do is struggle pointlessly
while they watch
they laugh at you when you think you have found an escape
then they slowly peel your fingers from the cliff
until you are only hanging on by lonely one
Once they are satisfied by their torture
they will send you falling
and they will smile as soon as you hit the ground
