Dirty Little Secret

Dirty Little Secret

Remember our little secret I promised not to tell,
That if I told my daddy, they'd lock him up in jail,
As a child I didn"t understand exactly what that meant,
That if I told my dad your deeds, to prison he'd be sent,
For murder of my uncle that my innocence was lost,
To defend his daughter by any means or cost,

Unspeakable images forever etched in my brain,
That dirty little secret always driving me insane,
I never shared that secret but held it close in mind,
Years came and went and then there came a time,
Word of your sickness spread through family talk,
That dirty little secret in my mind did stalk,

As I lay alone and broken crying in my bed,
Memories of it haunt me and terrorize my head,
The innocence from me I know that you did steal
But now I've got a secret that in time will reveal,
The suffering and the pain from a secret never told,
Now reverses lives and is bound to come unfold,

Finally my conscience clear and my mind is free,
A lump forms in my throat I hope you rest in peace,
As you lay there in your bed gasping for your breath,
Praying to a God you never knew and begging him for death,
My prayers have been answered my secret I did tell,
And now your punishment is to forever burn in hell

    The autrocities children are told in order to have a secret kept. For those who have lived with the 'dirty little secrets' This poem may convince them to open their mouths and tell. I never really understood the number of children that are afflicted with this, until I became a volunteer at a children's care unit. I have since seen and heard the horrible things children have to live with and how they have suffered because of it. It trully breaks my heart. You have written this so wonderfully. Maybe we can all find a healing comfort in your words.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Always,
    Jeannie
