Secrets

Some of my writing is causing discomfort because of the realness and the truth it exposes. I've earned the right to be heard...

Secrets kept and never spoken
under cover
spirits broken

Silence screams trying to choke you
denial loud
but coming through

Futile attempt to steal my voice
not here, not now
I have no choice

You won't win this one,not today
nor tomorrow
for strength I pray

To exclaim my heart loud and true
your guilt be damned
it's not for you

Secrets exposed, demons released
hurting over
the past unleashed

I think most everyone who writes from the deepest part of who they are can relate to this. It's such a comfort to have the notebook in rhyme, but it's also a new outlet for pain to creep back in. Not everyone will be able to understand where you're coming from, and for those just x them out of your life, keep the ones who at least try to know you. What's underneath the blanket of stars in your eyes and heart is a true warrior in armor. Sometimes it seems like we always have to keep a secret due to something, but it's so much more of a burden lifted when we're open. I hope you keep opening your book too, because it's nice to feel that there's someone by where I am and I'm not entirely alone in struggling.

Strong words and powerful emotion made the poem real with pain and memory. I like the directness and honest words. Poetry allow us to expose our self without showing a body or a face. I like the complete poem. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

secrets can be devestating to our spirits.... sad but this writing holds honest feelings of someone who can't be honest in real life. i know hw you feel

Raggedy Anne Legion-- THANK YOU from the depths of my soul for those words and for your encouragement. I realized somewhere along the way that I cannot worry about whose toes I may step on while on this journey through my spirit past and present. I can only be true to me.
