Secrets

Secrets...Buried deep inside me is so much pain.
     I bury myself in my poetry, but it's all in vain.

Secrets...Fills that dark void, consuming all of me.
     Leaves me paranoid, and feeling I have no security!

Secrets...Would people care, or would it be just no use?
     I know life ain't fair and I wondered why I suffered physical and sexual abuse?

Secrets...I keep it all balled up inside, and I just can't find release.
     Those secrets I hide, and I can't seem to find no peace.

Secrets...I try to reach out to others, but don't trust a soul.
     I'm scared to get close to another, and it's hard to maintain self control.

Secrets...My ex-wife left me for another man, because she couldn't handle the time.
     And I completely understand, and so i bury myself in a rhyme.

Secrets...I'm in love with a woman, but want my cake and eat it too.
     She wants to give up on me, but only if she knew.

Secrets...How can I say to her, she's like my momma rebirth?
     After my momma passed I never thought I could find that love again on this earth.

Secrets...I must get this off my chest, and I hope you competely understand.
     That my aching heart won't rest unless you forever hold my hand!
