Secrets and Shadows

Everyone has secrets
In the shadows of their life
Everyone has shadows
In their heart, and in their mind

Everyone has secrets
Some just barely hiding
Waiting for the right time
More of a surprise really

Everyone has secrets
Hidden in the corners
Knowing there’s no right time
They will not be welcome

So the shadows hide the secrets
Until the secrets become bold
They fill the mind, and choke the heart
Demanding to be told

But the secrets must be hidden
Until the time is right
For if they can’t be welcomed
Let them come as no surprise
