The Burden of Secrets

I home
Deep, dark Secrets
Within me…
Stories
No one had heard,
Pains
No one can see,
Scars
No one will know.

I nestle
Evil, wicked Demons
Within me…
Lies
I told others,
Hopes
I give myself,
Worries
I shall not address.

I hold
Unknown, untold Emotions
Within me…
Feelings
I refused to express,
Love
I deny nurturing,
Sorrow
I won’t spill.

I bear
Silent, heavy burdens
Within me…
Secrets,
I couldn’t share,
Demons
I don’t dare to slay,
Tears
I’m not willing to shed.
