The Sickest Secret
What secret lives inside
that forces you to hide?
The very thing inside you
lurking in your mind
Stealing all your peace
and making you unwell
Everyday you wake up
locked inside this hell
With every passing moment
denying your true self
Hear the tolling of the bells
The very sickest secret is the one that you don't tell
but you've lived like this forever
and so you play the other act
as long as it'll sell
Everyone can see it
though they don't know what it is
Something in your speech
the way you move your eyes
Something in the way you move
You know how you feel
but you keep on with the lie
The sickest secret, darling
is the one you never tell
Soon you know you'll slip
though you've buried it quite well
Can you really say it's worth it
living life in hell
Can you face yourself each evening
when you know you have the power
to care for what you need
There is no magic spell
The sickest little secret
is the key that sets you free
The breaking heart you knew
was your secret breaking through
You've never felt much better
than the day your secret fell
The sickest little secret
is the one you had to tell
The greatest thing in life
is to break free from your shell
Exactly how I have felt, got a little shiver down my spine as I read it. Thank you so much for sharing this. x
