Secrets

Just like an onion,
All the deepest secrets are layered,
One over another,
Try to open it,
A pungent smell will fill the air,
Something, that has been with you for years...

The scars of yesterday,
Can't heal in a day,
Fools are those,
Who believe,
Secrets can be shared...

Somethings remain with you forever,
Whenever you think about them,
Process of justification begins,
To admit your fault, is the biggest fear,
And hence the chapter is all clear.

Some secrets go to the pyre with you,
It joins you in the coffin, when they bury you,
Nothing can take them away from you,
Like a faintest memory,
They keep coming back to you...

The pain, the laughs and the lessons,
Everything comes with these secrets,
Talk about your wildest dreams,
Who knows, it too has a place?

Secrets die with you,
But sometimes they do come back,
In real life,
With suffering and shame,
But, they too teach you one thing..
Never reveal a secret,
Let it remain quiet forever,
Let it grow old with you,
With all your deepest memories..
