Quiet, now

I keep secrets

It’s my nature

I hear what they say

What you say

What I say

And lock it all away

It’s not ideal

I am safe for it

I am unloved because of it

But I cannot change

Not now

Life is tolerable

When you don’t trust it

It’s unhealthy

And wise

One day it will change

There are too many enemies now

There’s not enough room

To set my feelings free

That day will come

Before I leave this world

When I open my hand

And all my secrets

Will pour out
