my closed book of secrets...

we all have a set to call our own, we each have a few we keep hidden from the rest, something that others cannot know. each and everyone of us, no matter how much we dislike them, have secrets.

now i bring this up because i've been pestered about the secrets i hold and why i hold them, and well, now that i know you are an avid reader i can explain to you why i have the secrets i have.

we all have secrets for our own individual reasons, each one uniquely different and valid. some of us have secrets to protect ourselves. something if known by the general public would be mocked, misunderstood, or taken the wrong way.

we hold secrets just to have something to call our own. something that only we know. something that isn't shared with the rest of the world like the rest of our lives. something that isn't on display for everyone to know.

we have secrets simply because we don't want you to know. we have secrets because we are insecure, because we are afraid to let go and have our life open to read by anyone.

but most importantly we have secrets because we are scared to let people in. scared to go deep down and share with everyone else what we have kept hidden for years on in. we have secrets because we are not yet comfortable enough with the people around us to let them in.

there you have it. my closed book of secrets needs to be closed for a while longer. and maybe one day little by little my secrets will be out in the open, but for now just let them stay locked up.
