My Secret
by: Karolina

i have a little secret I'd like to share with u,
but if u find out what are u going to do?
will u tell me to grow up?
or try to make me stop?
will u yell at me and call me names?
maybe you'll think I'm lying or playing games.
whatever u think, put yourself in my spot.
u have to understand this secret is all i got.
it always comforts me in my times of need.
it even rewards me when i do a good deed.
if u won't understand I'll keep this secret to myself
I'll keep it in a little box on my very top shelf.
when u are ready, please open the box.
it won't be simple even though it has no locks.
then take my hand in yours and help me get better.
i can't do it alone, but we can do it together.
