Elucidating Questions

Secrets,

Secrets, they told you, would make you more lonely

But it was a lie

They said you can tell all your secrets to your best friend

But that person never came.

They said don’t be lonely share your secrets you’ll feel lighter

More connected

Free.

In only the way that I am lighter by fading

Connected steadfast to the silence of the secrets

Free of all the people who I told the secret to

I’ve been insane with my secret

For over twenty years.

They turn to me and say

Get help

Talk to a professional

But I didn’t say I needed help with my secret

My secrets and me we need help with fighting these demons

Anything

So when they told you to share your secrets

They wanted you to end up alone

Alone again in the dark

With your secrets to keep you home.
