What's a secret worth?
If we do not keep it
Either on purpose
Or by accident
What's a secret worth?
If we use it against someone
The same very person you trusted with the secret
Could perform an act of mutiny
Like a pirate would do to its captain
What's a secret worth?
Breaking, Tearing, and Killing friendships
Corrupting friends and turning them against each other
Like a pioneer town when they accused someone of being a witch
What's a secret worth?
When you have to lie to others
Making up hundreds of lies if necessary
For the sake of trust
From the one who whispered the secret to you
In the first place
What's a secret worth?
When you can't hold it in
And it slips out of your lips
Like soap slipping out of your hands
What's a secret worth?
When you lose every one's trust
Because you couldn't keep your mouth shut
And the temptation to tell was eating you alive
What's a secret worth?
Was it worth losing trust?
Was it worth losing a friend?
Was knowing the secret worth it at all?
What's a secret worth?

Secrets keep friends together. But they can also be dangerous, tearing friendships and people apart. What's a secret really worth?
