My secret lives
Undercover
Under my skin,
In the depths
Of my mind

The secret
I’m hiding
Is wrapped
Around my neck
Making me
Choke in despair

This heavy scarf
Of a secret
Is like
Waking up
In the night
With cold sweat
Makes me want
To scream
Out loud
But
Only sadness
And silence
Comes out
Of my mouth

Bitter taste
If it had one
Gray colour
If it was visible
Rough texture
If it felt like something
A very heavy weight
All in my back
Making me feel
A defeated man

I miss
My grandma
She
Was
Perfect
