The Golden Secret
April 7, 2014
When I'm with you I feel
a golden ray of sunshine cast down on me,
I am vibrant, elated.
My heart goes a-flutter
and I can't control my smile.
I'm lighter than air
and my soul longs to sing.
But you're also the reason
my mind is overflowing with fear,
why I want to hide
like a dark gray shadow.
They don't want me with you.
And I worry they'll catch me.
My mind is in a panic;
guilt crawls up my throat.
I'm remorseful because I keep this secret from them
and because you are, unfortunately and unfairly,
this secret I must keep.
