Darkest Secrets
dark secrets, not one or two
but a hundred or more
shall I tell or let it go
I think I may just ignore
their gibbering to be told
was it the boy under the linden tree
who wanted more than a little kiss
I don't know if that's a dark secret
or a teeny bit grey
but I won't say what he did afterwards
it could be the time I plonk
two chocolates laxative
in my father's coffee
so he wouldn't go out that night
it was my mother's birthday
but no one cared not even him
many dark secrets of a strange life
dancing around egg shells
and tip toeing down creaky stairs
struggling to breathe in air
choked by un-loveliness
dark secrets yes I have so many
nothing I could tell to anybody
a hair breath to drunk oblivion
a step away from diving
or cutting someone's throat
It was a long tired road
before becoming Grace.

"Hell No!"
Every secret I ever exposed
No matter how close the friend
Was spilled by treasonous a-holes
As if they were milk and I was no one
And crying was a crime to add to the warrant
The biggest secrets are hidden the deepest
Not thrillers to be released into the wild
From this day forward my secrets die with me
My crimes are my sins to be judged by vaporous lords
Who keep themselves a secret to avoid trials of their own
So much bigger than mine, of holocausts and armageddons
They believe themselves to be above the laws they command
The very essence of hypocrisy justified as long as they say Amen
I'll take my chances placing my sins side by side to be compared
And hope like Hell there is no Hell, or lords to condemn me there
Every secret I ever exposed

Was spilled by treasonous a-holes
As if they were milk and I was no one
And crying was a crime to add to the warrant
The biggest secrets are hidden the deepest
Not thrillers to be released into the wild
From this day forward my secrets die with me
My crimes are my sins to be judged by vaporous lords
Who keep themselves a secret to avoid trials of their own
So much bigger than mine, of holocausts and armageddons
They believe themselves to be above the laws they command
The very essence of hypocrisy justified as long as they say Amen
I'll take my chances placing my sins side by side to be compared
And hope like Hell there is no Hell, or lords to condemn me there

calamatygin, so sorry for causing you to snort your coffee...it's bad for you anyway. I'll try another one.
Dark is my home
Where i can sit alone
I can't see it
my darkest secret
When i couldnt reach the sink
And id have vivid dreams
I could swear i saw shadows at night
Before now, dark was like stage fright
But now, it's something i embrace
Was just behind a seal
Now its been revealed
Where i can sit alone
I can't see it
my darkest secret
When i couldnt reach the sink
And id have vivid dreams
I could swear i saw shadows at night
Before now, dark was like stage fright
But now, it's something i embrace
Was just behind a seal
Now its been revealed
WHAT ARE DARK SERCERTS?
Someone Who Has Been Raped 12 times in a row
although i'v learn to let it go
Talking And Telling Everyone is Hard
But Getting it Out Feels So Much better
Lost A Dad Who Hated For A While
My Dead Beat mother lied about him now he dead
I've blame myself for mouths while it happen
Although I See it as karma will Follow
I Don't really have a Mother Was There Nor A dad because of her
No Family For Support nor friends at the end
Drugs Was My Pain Bills
While Homeless Again
homeless for 5 years with sadness on my faces
Secret's are with in me, I have lots of them
I Keep them hiding for different reason
My aunt Used To Tell Me things That Iv never known Before
And That is...
To Or Shell Never Give up
