From The Inside Out

There's that pain again.

You know the one.

An ever present pain.

Gnawing
Gnawing
Gnawing away at you.

You're always paranoid
Frightened
Scared
Panicked

Of what?

Someone finding out...

Your Secret

This feeling has been present in every human being at sometime. A feeling of intense guilt that just builds inside your chest characterized by a dull ache or squeezing feeling. Guilt. A horrible problem with an overly simple solution. Let it out. Tell the truth. If it is so easy why does this awful pain still affect people today? Consequences is the reason. The actual act of telling is not hard, but rather what comes after that. The moment after. The day after. The year after. People harbor this emotion because they live in fear of the changed glances they will endure after the truth has been told. This is an unfortunate catch 22. If you tell your secret you are subject to the stares, the ridicule, the shame. But, if you stay silent...

You destroy yourself from the inside

And will never get out.
