Poetry: Dishonesty

by Tiory Clark

Created on: March 31, 2009

Secrets

Everyone has something to hide

A little secret that stays inside

A part of you, you'd hate to see

Ever laid out publicly

A little shame that stays around

Whenever you think it's gone to ground

A thought or deed that hurts to know

So then we laugh and let it go

No one ever has to see

That secret that lays inside of me

Lurking and hoping to get out

Lips pressed thin there's no doubt

It tries to work it's way around

But I always seem to force it down

I'll lie and cheat to keep it from you

I'd do those things, I'd never do

There is no need for you to see

The secrets that stay inside of me
