victorias in poetry

saying that you’re good at keeping secrets is
a good way to get people asking you your secrets
which is a very very bad way to keep your secrets
you of course have your secret truths
and you have your own true secrets and
your secret secrets you can’t even know
the things that you’ve hidden from yourself
in hopes your lying heart will be believed
inside and out and inside-out as well on top
it’s the secrets you don’t even hint at
where they’re not looking for answers
because they don’t even know the questions
these are the nuggets that’ll carry you home
because one day you’ll be dead and
your estate can’t give everything away
because right now you’re alive and
your deepest self can’t either
you can’t just give everything away
you can’t just give everything away
