A short poem on the subconscious consequences of keeping secrets from those you love.
Secretive Consequences

I have a secret deep inside
That from my parents I must hide

For in my mind I have long since sewn
That this secret will cause them to disown

So I grow distant and pull away
To lessen pain the future may convey.
