My Little Secret

poem by: Samantha Johnson
Written on May 12, 2015

I love my little secret I keep her locked away
She is real she’s all mine and no one else can play
She makes me feel invincible she knows how to deceive
Many try to crack the code but nobody succeeds

She is there when I cry she’s there when I smile
She always knows just what to say scheming all the while
Standing up for my rights she plays the part so well
Her intentions are not as they seem I’m back in my shell

She’s getting stronger all the time see me fade away
Better off she is there to keep the wolves at bay
I try to talk but there’s no sound not a trace of me
She ignores my cries for help throws away the key

Lost inside an empty space void of all my wits
Pulled apart and recompiled until the shoe it fits
So here I sit day by day obeying her commands
I give her what she wants I bow to her demands 

No faith no soul no body there is no harmony 
She conned me into looking when I couldn’t see
No choice I had she made sure I signed the dodgy deal
So confused clouded mind with no capacity to feel

Now I hate my little secret she got out on her own
I’m a shadow of the former me so pass another cone
Suck it down she insists because relief is on its way
With the rising of another sun comes another lonely day.
