The secret
I am the secret you want to tell
beating inside your mouth
you can't help but yell
but are forced to keep mum because of a spell
The secret burns within your mind
what is a girl to do, so you speak
you go whisper, from someone's behind
relieved you told and let go your find
The secret is out, it spreads fast
transferred from one mouth to the next
words accumulate, as it spreads past
it reaches wide, till the gossip lasts
modern news agencies are the new gossip vines
no wonder, the common man's life is still in pain
entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)
I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
