I have a secret

I have a secret I don't want to tell
Its my personal mess, part of my story.
I don't want your sympathy,
and I don't want your help!
I just want you to listen.

Secrets are interesting:
Everyone has some.
But if a secret is kept to yourself,
once you die, no one will ever know.

So I decide to trust you with my secret.
My secret that was too big to keep.
I showed you what behind all the tears and lies and the millions of fake smiles and "happy thoughts".
I showed you a part of me.
It was a part I thought I'd always keep hidden.
A part of my dark past that was locked in the basement.
So many forgotten memories I unfolded infront of you.
I didn't do it because you wanted me to.
I did it because I wanted you to know every little part of me.

I wanted you to love me.
