The Secrets We Hide

©

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2008 with permission of the Author.

We struggle to have meaning
in this world, which we all know.
We try, but yet we wonder
where we all should go.
Hidden in the questions,
we cannot find
the answers. They're are all hidden
deep inside our minds.
Hidden in our soul
is the life we try to hide,
but in time it will find you,
and it will release
all of its secrets hidden beneath,
so before it ruins the life you have made,
release those dark secrets,
and the memories will fade.
Hidden in our lives are stories left untold
of the things we didn't want them to know,
but once you tell somebody
and make your feelings known,
the struggle will be over
and you'll finally be home.

I am in 7th grade and my story is that I just like looking at poems that are meaningful because it makes me feel better and it also makes me think about God a lot more often and that's what I really need to start doing with my life because I have done things that I am not proud of doing.

I'm a senior in high school and for anthology project we had to find a poem which related to our theme the we had chosen from a book the we read. I chose this poem because it related perfectly with my theme which was "Releasing secrets will in time set you free from you pain" I really enjoyed reading this poem and I believe other people will also.

I am a Senior and for my English class we are finding poems that we like and have to write a personal feeling towards the poem. I think this poem is great for me because I have many struggles in my family and I always avoid talking to people about it because I'm afraid of what they would think. The struggles I go through every day are a big part of my life and by reading this poem, it makes me realize I should let certain people in and not be embarrassed of sharing the truth. If I did that, than maybe I would feel better about everything. I think this poem would be helpful for many people.
Thanks,
Stacey

I am ninth grader and in my creative writing class, we had to find a poem, come up with three questions about it and have a class discussion. When I went up to have my class discussion at first nobody understood the poem, so the teacher told me to read it again. After I read it the second time people started to get it. they said that the poem meant that we needed to release our secrets and keeping them to ourselves was not good. Many people said that they could relate to this poem and the author did a great job. I really liked this poem and I thought it meant something, so the author did a great job writing this poem.

Thanks,
