Secrets

How have my secrets kept me
Over the life I have survived
No one knows the sorrows
Failures I have revived

Each and everyday
Mistakes that I have wed
No one knows the secrets
Hiding in my head

Regret, remorse, the anger
Blame, the shame, the dread
No one should ever know
What sleeps within my bed

My teardrops hold my secrets
They fall down to the ground
Depression fills my inner soul
Cause no one is around

If someone learns my secrets
What will they think of me
So I push away all those who care
So my secrets they can not see

My days are filled with smiles
False upon my face
To help me keep my secrets
Within my safer place
