We All Have Our…

We all have our secrets
Big and small
Erased and ongoing
Stuck inside or freed

Secrets like magic potions
Disappear in daylight
Or find temporary refuge
In the distant caverns of the heart

Secrets, Lies
Lying beneath
The lip service
The shame
Spindles in the wheel of living

Silent histories
Hush them away
Run, like wild horses
Spooked in the night

Secrets to lull our dreams
Blur the truth
Stifle the future
With visions of self sabotage

We can run
But not hide or seek
It is what it is
What is done cannot be erased

Vitality and vibrancy suffer
In the skeletal cove
hoarding the past
To foretell the future.
