Secret!

~ Secret ~

What do you do

when you've been torn away

from the people that you miss,

when you lost your place

in the only family where you

once thought you fit?

You punch, scream, and cry

as you swallow what's inside

life is no high;

as you live with the burdens

of the consequences

every day you're just getting by

suffering the loneliness,

being another outcast

love doesn't die...

No matter how many years pass by

there isn't a fair understanding

of the cards that were dealt,

living doesn't mean anything

when you believed,

you found everything

you were looking for.

You love enough to know

to stay away,

like a drowned rat on a rainy day

the hurt inside

never goes away

when you've got a secret to tell

to fill in the blanks of a

misunderstood history,

love the ones you call family

as your words are told.

They don't know what they're missing

you haven't been there for so long...

it hurts less this way,

when no-ones any wiser

over the sacrifice,

just wish them well

as you move on in life,

you pray from this point on

life turns out alright!
