Secret
Tell me a secret.Open a locked door,
remove the shell, held in
place by your despair,
clinging to your exposed flesh so strongly
it’s put even the strongest adhesives
to shame.
Tell me your secret.
It’s like uttering a password,
it’s that easy to make
the walls stop closing in around you.
It’s that easy
to lift the stone from your chest
so you can breath easy again.
I’ll make you a promise:
When the ground swallows you whole,
I’ll be buried right with you,
to give you that boost up
so you can escape the demons
that decided to follow us down.
I’ll give you my promise:
When you show me your true colors,
(whether they be white or black)
I’ll paint you a shade you want to be.
Let me take the weight from your shoulders,
let me crack that shell
that holds you captive.
Say those magic words, and let me help you.
