I’m carrying a secret,
One I can’t share.
If I told anyone,
They’d be filled with despair.

I’m afraid of what they’ll think,
Of how they’ll react.
I don’t want to hurt them,
So I’ll keep this to myself.

I’m carrying this burden,
All alone.
It’s heavy and it’s painful,
But I know I can’t let it go.

I need to find a way to deal with this,
To find a way to cope.
I can’t keep living like this,
With this secret weighing me down.
