Inside me I have
A very dark place
That no one knows about
A secret that I must keep
A room for it to live in
With thick walls
Soundproofed
Only I
Have the key to the door
Sometimes I long
To unlock the door
Let someone see in
And know the dark secret
It would stare them in the face
With startling eyes
Such as they would never forget
They would turn away
Shocked
They would cover their eyes
And run
And I would lock the door
To the room again
And be afraid to unlock it
Ever again
And show the secret
To anyone
