SECRET CHRONICLES

I have a story to tell you.

I’ve written the secret chronicles

That encompass the tragedies

And victories alike,

Of a life lived.

I hold in my hand a diary of sorts

Full of many truths, answers, 

And mysteries revealed.

But I have put a lock

On the book 

In which I’ve written this story.

These written truths

Will remain a secret

Evermore.

For I haven’t the courage

To break the lock

And allow the written words

To speak out loud

And break down the walls

Between us.
