Debra, you give good advice. People will always use shared secrets against you. I liked the choice of "refrain" followed by "repeat" in the first verse. And the last verse is so telling. Somehow we think f a secret is shared, it will take away those voices -- but I don't believe it ever does. This is a very thought provoking poem.

This seems to be a cautionary suite of 5-7-5 stanzas. Today the social media sites are teeming with secrets divulged. It's best to keep things secret if they can cause harm to self or others. But perhaps writers can create fiction with them if the "voices in your head" get too loud. Lol.
