Secrets
Secrets that we keep inside,
Aren't necessarily things we want to hide.
But thoughts kept in our own mind,
Put away for no one else to find.
Some are treasures,
And some are pleasures.
And a few are buried down so far,
But part of what make us who we are.
Only shared,
With those who dared.
To be a part
Of lifes flowchart.
After all of my miles,
And additions to the files.
I have come to accept what's mine,
The secrets of my minds byline.
I no longer feel the need to give,
To everyone, all about how I live.
About how it is that I feel,
Or what it is that makes me real.

Great poem. Very true too, there are some things that should always be kept secret... I always think if I don't admit to it, it never happened! ;)
This is excellent, you really have a talent!
Secretia
nicely done...not a big fan of secrets..i just kinda let it hang out...maybe thats not a good thing though...smiles.
well done...I think a secret or two(little ones) never hurt anyone;)
Ah yes. Secrets.... Love that last stanza!
I love the poem, I too find that sharing all feeling does not help me. So sharing is overstated. Secrets are often something I treasure or need to keep mine. Not because they will hurt anyone, they just don't need to know.
Sometimes I feel bad because certain friends only know certain things about me. I don't know why, I've never been like that before, but now I am.
I like to think I'm too much of a person to let only one person know everything. LOL
Thank you for visiting my blog. I will be adding more purses so check back soon. :)
You bring up a great point about men saying no to sex. That is hardly ever thought of. I would love to hear from the women who have to deal with that. It's a topic not widely discussed. It would be good to hear.
Grabbed your button too. Have a great day!
Beautiful- as was the one highlighted on Beth's blog. You are inspiring.
I loved this and I agree that there are some things that are best left unsaid. The last verse especially, yes, there are some things that I would hate to get out about myself!
I value my anonymity, and some things I find hard to talk about.
Lovely- well put!
Brilliant! Brilliant! AND your page has had a major make over since I was here last. It's really, very cool! How you do dat? with the slide-show picture thingies on the side bars? I dig it a lot. So, thanks for stopping by my page. In answer to your Q about Ramsay cut out, my sister works for a liquor distributor here in Atlanta and brought him home for me. I LOVE HER! I'm grabbing your button and will put it on my sandwich page. But more appropriatly will also put it on my OTHER BLOG at www.alwayscurtsywhenyousneeze.com I think it's a perfect fit. P.S. If you read my blog in Google Reader, it indicates I haven't posted for SEVEN MONTHS. Wrong..... It's broken for me and I can't fix it. So don't forget to stop by again. I love hearing from you.. Great stuff you have here, dear. Seeya. Keri (a.k.a. Sam)
Sometimes, I think it's our secrets that DO reveal the real "us." Love the verse...Bravo!
This is so true; one should always keep some of the things to oneself if sharing this stuff could leave you open to hurt or expose your loved ones to pain.
beautiful poem...
WOW ~ fabulous job!
I'd like to think I have very few secrets. I don't broadcast everything, and I do talk to certain friends about certain things...but mostly I pride myself on my honesty. Secrets only eat me up.
