Secrets
I know too many
I wish I could tell someone all my secrets
Well actually they’re not even mine.
All the secrets I know, are of others.
People think I’m a bad person, because I joke a lot
I’m not serious enough
I talk too much.
But honestly, if I don’t joke around
If I don’t have people laughing,
then I know
All their worries will come alive.
You see, people all have their own worries,
but pretend not to mind them.
But you see,
maybe if I can make them laugh
then they could stop pretending,
even if it’s for just one moment.
I know secrets that can hurt them.
I won’t ever hurt them though.
So I just hurt myself
buried in the truth.
Even though, I’m helping them
they choose to think less of me.
But they don’t know
They don’t know that if I spoke
If I told even one person the truth
I could ruin everything.
So I’ll just be silent again.
I’ll let them talk
because I am better.
I am stronger.
I am a good person,
and I will never hurt others.
