In the shadows

I kept my secret

It was still, withering away

The darkness in the back of my conscience

It stood there…

Haunting

Lurking

Paining

In the darkness

I decided

Bright light

Spoke the truth, and passed it on

Now 2 share the secret

I feel…

Pain

Embarrassment

Relief

Light

Why dose it stain my mind with black

I accept it

It is relieved

I have the bright light

Now it turns to white

Pure

Clean

Bright
