The Secret Life of a Secret Girl

And at age 10 she was the best

At learning what she shouldn't

And keeping those facts all to herself

Even when others wouldn't

And in grade 3 the had taught herself

How to make her mouth stay closed

Because she had the world to say

But not all wanted her world disclosed

So by the time she got to middle school

She'd learned what to keep in her mind

The ones like her who kept their mouths shut

Had far much more to find

She decided that she wouldn't share

Unless she knew how one would react

Practice with this made her sure

And she made herself a pact

So when it came time for a boyfriend

She didn't know what people would say

So she never did tell anyone

A couple figured it out anyway

And when her boyfriend left her

She knew a broken heart

But no one was there to pick her up

Cause she didn't tell anyone from the start
She lived a life of secrets
The ones that she chose to keep
People said that she could not lie
But if they knew the truth, they'd weep
Her life became a question
Not of what secrets lie
But what on earth she would ever do
If someone realized her confines
