Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make me want to cry
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make a part of me die inside
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
And hide all the pain deep inside
If I put on a strong front,
And don't look back,
Maybe you'll think I fight to protect somebody
And not just to conquer my fears
The only fear I have is that one day, fear will stop me from saving somebody's life
But if I tell you this, won't you think I'm weak?
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make me want to cry
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make a part of me die inside
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
And hide how I feel deep inside
Surely, we all have things to hide
Surely, we all have fragments of ourselves die inside
Communication and love seems so distant
Is saying goodbye when such things fade,
Worse than keeping it a secret?
Hiding all the love deep inside...
Do you plan to keep this secret, until the day you die?
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make me want to cry
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
When you make a part of me die inside
Just seems so much easier to keep it a secret
And hide all my doubt deep inside
While keeping a secret is just fine,
What happens when we reach the light?
And our shadows cast another night?
Keeping a secret is just another way
To subtly speed the mind's decay
Pushing everybody away...
Just to keep a secret
While keeping a secret is the easy way,
The mind is far too precious to let it decay
So look at your secrets,
Will the truth really cause so much bloodshed?
Isn't it you let them go?
It's time I let mine go,
And if you don't, I have no regret leaving you to decay

I love this! You have great rhymes and express emotions perfectly! I completely agree that it is easier to keep a secret, but in the long run it hurts to keep everything all bundled up. I loved it, but it took me a few reads to understand the main message. otherwise, great job! You have a beautiful and unique voice.
Ecellent write, Leigh! Good emotional impact and some very powerful contrasts. The format is what it is and, even though a little unusual, it doesn't detract from the presentation at all. Critically, I would only offer the inclusion of the word "time" in the 3rd from the last line. Otherwise, my "red pencil" really couldn't find anything to complain about. It takes several readings though, for the true impact of your final line to sink in. Which is good. Being interesting enough and powerful enough to make a reader go back for a few more reads. I feel some pity for whoever it was that inspired this dark writing, however, because of the joy that could have been there instead. This write has many different layers and, that also, is a mark of an excellent write. Thank you!
Our lies really do weigh down our consciences. So why bother, eh? I might have said this with conviction some time earlier, before we spilled the beans to each other, but now I kind of understand why keeping a secret is sometimes for the best, and most of the times, it's the worst thing you can do.
I agree, secrets must be told. And minds do decay when they're forced to hide every important thing people should know. You know what? I found out a few weeks ago that magic is actually a sin in Islam, and I felt so bad about that. I didn't think it would do any harm thinking of those dreams as real, but it did... Argh, my conscience is attacking me!
On the other hand, I did get this really crazy dream of FoF while in the *car*. You won't believe what crazy influences vehicles have on the mind!
I admire this new style of yours; a rhythm to the words, with the rhymes. It sounds really sophisticated! If I could start writing like that, I might someday write a good poem!
Welcome !
