Hidden Secrets

Helpless in a quiet way
Intent on causing you dismay
Demons run into your mind
Destroying luminosity in what they find.

Enthralled with what you don’t say
Now their attention has gone astray
Searching for those hidden truths
Enduring from your bloom of youth

Cast the demons from their play
Repair the walls that in ruins lay
Encircling those private thoughts
That will never into light be brought

Secrets saved from life’s display
