Secret demons


So many secrets 

inside my head

some jumping and screaming

begging to get out

others act dead

 

Secrets are frightning

dark

deep

I have to keep them

i can not speak

 

Secrets from others

are the easiest to keep

they are not mine

there is no link

all piling up in a big heap

 

my own secrets 

eat me alive

keeping them inside

is a fight i must win

what keeps them inside is my drive

 

these secrets are animals

terrible beasts

they claw and scratch

digging deep

 

They try and destroy

while i try to rebuild

these monsters must not win

or i shall go

 

secrecy is bad

this i know

but there are so many secrets

burried in my head
