Psst, can you keep a secret?

Why yes, yes I can. What is it?

I found out the meaning to life!

Wow, what is it?

You gotta know when to hold them - cherish, love and embrace the ones you love and care for and that do the same back to you.

You gotta know when to fold them - giving up isn’t easy but sometimes it just has to be done. Not giving up on life but giving up on someone who no longer s...

Shhh.

You can’t tell anyone.

Promise?

I’ve fucked up everything.

Absolutely everything.

Here, I’ll take you back to the beginning:

I liked a girl.

She was beautiful,

She was funny,

She was chaotic,

She was…

She was amazing.

She was everything I could ever want.

And, by some miracle of fate,

She liked me too.

And we got together in a slightly weird way,

But it had the same result.

We hang out all...

(Just to let you know. This part goes before the last chapter I wrote. Thanks for the reads!!)

I’d never felt more scared in my entire life. Holding Maisie close to my chest as I run through the streets, hoping that I’m not too late.

If I am then there’s no point, no point in . . . Life.

I pant as the hospital comes into view. Hold on. I think as I glance down at Maisie’s tired, lifeless fa...

In whispers shared 'neath the moon's soft glow,

Where shadows dance and cool winds blow,

Lies a secret in the heart's deep chest,

A silent word, unspoken, at rest.

Can you keep a secret, hold it tight?

Keep it safe through the restless night?

For secrets are like precious stones,

Buried deep in earth's old bones.

They weigh heavy on the bearer's soul,

A quiet force that takes its toll.

Yet in yo...

I’m not okay.

Something…

Something broke inside my head.

And I can’t fix it.

I can only bury it under my ruined dreams,

And hope the weight doesn’t break it more.

I can only shove it to the side,

And hope the force doesn’t shatter it more.

I can only suffocate it,

And hope the lack of oxygen doesn’t make it fade away,

Like a dream without fuel.

But it does.

That broken part of me,

It breaks,

It sh...

(Here I bless you with an old draft I never published.)

I hold his hand as I drag him behind me through the forest the same way I did as a kid, the memory of his laughs echoing in my head as I hum the song he taught me, it’s ironic really; the lyrics following after.

“Got a secret, can you keep it? Swear this one you’ll save.”

I grin, maybe too wide, and run faster. His body unable to keep up w...

TW: mental health struggles / depression

Can you keep a secret?

And promise not to tell?

Ok it may not be a secret

But I’m not doing very well

Everything is nothing

And nothing is ok

I’m not sure if I can handle

Waking up another day

I don’t want to be dramatic

Or a burden to my friends

But at the same time I don’t really know

How this story ends

S...

‘Vengence is best served cold.’

So says the story I’ve been told.

I’ve always feard being bold.

All my thoughts, I withold.

Fires dont always go out.

No matter how loud I shout.

My mind is full of endless doubt.

That I’m unsure I can live without.

Dim little lights dance around.

In my own mind, which I am bound.

Lost, never to be found.

The silence is defeaningly loud....

Can you keep a secret?

I have one to tell

Its not pretty

Its not silly

Its not easy to say

Will you hide my secret?

Can you keep a secret?

So sinister and dreadful

I want to share

But I’m scared

Will you keep my secret?

Or tell the world?

Can you keep a secret?

I have skeletons in my closet

And blood on my hands

Please dont tell a soul

Or I’ll have to kill you too

Why couldn’t ...

hoards of them

pressing against my inner walls

thoughts, feelings, stories

I write for myself

from the other side of the mirror,

another me

calls, shouts, cries, dreams.

inside,

a completely different world

a different life.

outside,

passive and reserved

a life only half lived

keeping silent to keep the peace

harboring secrets, I push them deep....
