I have something to say
A secret I have held within my head
The secret is this...
But would it be wrong to set it free?
To give this sin a taste of liberty?
No, she must be said
So here we go again
I have a message I would like to tell
This concealed lie I've been itching to yell
My lie to the world is...
No, No, I dare not say
Confined to my mind it shall stay
Though maybe if I confess
And get this weight lifted from my chest
That's it I must make known
No longer can this issue be postponed
Here it is all on the line
I shall pour my soul upon this rhyme
My secret is held within these words I say
My unutterd words shall be said today
Upon these worthless lies
I shall no longer rely
And will now admit that I....Shhhhhh
A secret I have held within my head
The secret is this...
But would it be wrong to set it free?

I shall pour my soul upon this rhyme
My secret is held within these words I say
My unutterd words shall be said today
Upon these worthless lies
I shall no longer rely
And will now admit that I....Shhhhhh

Amazing. This perfectly describes that moment when someone stands in front of you asking "Is something bothering you." And a part of you just wants to blurt it out as fast as you can before you lock the door and simply say.... "I'm fine"
Great write, well worth gold

I like the rhyme and flow of this poem very much! I like the mood behind your lines, hopeful and touching yet teasing with the reader. I couldn't wait to get to the last stanza to find out this great secret but, I guess, it wasn't meant to be..
"I have a message I would like to tell
This concealed lie I've been itching to yell"
--Great emotion and feeling!

yes secrets are to be kept, is why they are secrets. Thought it is hard to fool one with much insight, be it a lover or a friend. All hell breaks loose when some secrets come into the light
