A Secret from Yesterday

I have a secret

Burning a hole in my pocket,

Hiding beneath long sleeves.

I have a secret

And it won't let me sleep.

Just the thought of it makes me sick

And I'm terrified of the reason why.

I don't know why I woke up.

I don't know why I'm okay.

Why was it so easy

Just to close my eyes and fall asleep,

Eager for there to be no tomorrow?

Why did tomorrow still come?

deep, emotional, let your words fall out, let them grace us with their presence, share your thoughts, your feelings.... tell us whats happening, and we will be here, faithful readers! This poem was incredible, you are able to bring realistic issues, things that go on, to the page for us to experience as we read, I love your writing, I do, although I feel deeply for you, and it pains me that you are pained...
