Keeping Secrets

Hey did you hear...

If you have a secret,
It's for you, and you alone.
Don't write something down,
If you don't want it known.

There is such a thing as blackmail,
Even those nosy gossip queens.
And friends fall out of friendship,
About as quick as they begin.

Words become twisted,
Rumors begin to spread.
Juicy truths are boring.
Why--
          When they can knock you down a peg.
