A secret hidden all so well
hoping never to be found,
sealed up tight and locked in a shell
buried six feet under the solid ground.
A secret so powerful but yet so weak
can slip out at any time,
with secrets you play hide-and-seek
and when it's found everyone chimes.
You want to let it out you want to tell
you want to let everyone know,
you're about to explode with all you've held
but what would happen if that secret were to show?
A promise you have made never to break
although it builds and keeps on building,
to keep it in makes your tender heart ache
but you must treat this secret like gilding.
