Secret


Chains wrapped around my heart

A lock binding them together

The key long buried deep inside me

Nearly forgotten in its hiding place

 

Only I know where to find it

If I want to let the secret show

Unlock the lock

Remove the chains

Only for a split second

And only for a select few to know

 

Nothing

No one

Not a flower

Nor any amount of coaxing

Not even chocolate

Can open that lock

Against my will

I'm a 16 year old girl who probably won't be an English major in college but who still enjoys creative writing. I made this account to anonymously post my poems- not just the good ones that I like people to see, but the ones I've never shown people before or that people rarely read. Things you should know about me to help you better understand my poetry: -I struggled with accepting that I am a part of the LGBT community when I was 14 years old and lost one of my best friends because she had an issue with it. -I suffer from anxiety and, though people don't seem to think I did, depression when I was younger. My mental health was worst in my sophomore year, where many of the poems with numbered titles were written. -I had a girlfriend for a month, but her family began mistreating her because of me, causing her to break up with me. I wrote many a poem about her and my feelings about the relationship. -I was led on for several months by the most adorable psychopath I've ever met.
