The watching of others
The weight of a secret is a powerful thing
It eats away at your soul and makes your heart sting
Until one day all that hurt erupts
And you’re left with a stomach all tangled in knots
You can try to forget it, push away the pain
But nothing can quiet that god awful thing
They are just like you
Everyone says
But it’s not the same
No, it’s too easy for them
So keep spreading your hate and keep pushing it down
But one day you will realize it’s not you, it’s those around
Those who swear it’s not natural
Those who say it’s a sin
Block that out, and take a deep breath in
Take one step at a time and let it all in
Because the sun wasn’t made for just one person
It was made for us all
Secrets and everything
