Secrets by Briana Cotten

Everyone has their secrets

Now some may be bad others just kept

Personal...

But we shove them in a box

A box so big

You think it's never going to break

It has the capability

To never 

Ever

Let 

You

Down

The one thing you can rely on

After all nobody can really be trusted
You see we rely on socializing
And when we don't have anything to talk about
We tend to talk about other people
Their lives
Who they like
And sometimes
Just sometimes
We spill the beans
Sharing the thing they trusted us with
Marking the end to that pinky promise
But then oh wait no
You realize
Your hands begin to shake
The sweat builds up and sticks to your skin
Like Glue
You try and save yourself
So what do you do?
You say okay so don't tell anyone Okay?
okay.
Hmmm is it really that easy?
No
The same thing happens on a cycle
A domino effect until in the end
It ends up getting back to the person
You know it is your fault
But that is the game
The game of trying to be someone you aren't
An attempt to make yourself feel better
Comparing yourself to others
Tearing them down
Going after their reputation
For what?
That's not right
What justice is it serving?
The truth is all that matters
Well now you try and keep everything once again to yourself
Back into the box the secrets go
But now
There is no more room to hold anymore things of privacy
So you make a new friend
Get let down
On
Repeat
Now this isn't the case for some people
But just know that if this is you
Stop
Find the people who don't care what others think
The ones who can actually learn to
Never
Let
You
Down
Nobody is perfect
People mess up
But
Know it will be okay
Okay?
