Secrets

Just like white lies


They surface

And once in awhile

They are mine



I try to control them

Deep within

That which you do not need to know

For what

To use against me

To manipulate me

In case you are unaware

There are no puppets here

No strings tied to my back

I talk on my own here

This life I live

I drive alone

So I keep secrets

To keep you close

And him closer



She who scowled at my rings

The designer brands

And finer things

Kiss my ass

It's free

They come and go

Just like air

Like life

And the lies you keep in circulation

You won't get ahold to these

Secrets



They encompass my pride

The success that I hide

Modesty

It's attractive

I

Humble

Every moment is precious



To know all

Is to know to much

Human is greed

We don't need that much

Redirect your focus

Steer clear of me

Don't be road blocks

Encounter clarity

Everything is short

Even memory
