I look around,
No one I know,
Nothing about them.
But they see through,
Me.
They know who I am,
They mock me behind my,
Back.
They know everything,
My secrets kept,
Locked away.
How can they know?
I thought it was,
Hidden away.
They hate me,
Already.
Just by my secrets,
Well I'm going to go,
Away.
I'm going to keep running,
Far from home.
I am...
A Runaway.

I hear you
This write has real depth to it .Often we surmise people know more than they really do but the best way to protect a secret is to no cause reason to have one .Honesty always is the best prevention of feeling lost .And we all have secrets some are identical and in revealing our own sometimes we feel others found out about theirs .O0dd isnt it but we need to keep ourselves on the straight and narrow and prevent this from happening . Secrets are so much like gossip often they are held and one lies about their inner feeling so much that they forget what they have told one from the other .
