Secrets

When I was young
Much younger than today
I dreamed that truth
Bursting forth
Could ‘ere be put away

Part of who I was
The deepest part of me
Hidden in the deep, dark cell
Hidden from the light and air
For no one else to see

But age it does bring changes
More than just a few
Some things age well
Some break down
And yet you hardly knew

That one day I would tell you what
I hid in deepest deep
That who I was could no longer be
That changes wrought for peace to be
I had to take the leap

So some years have passed now
I am who I should be
To me I have not changed at all
To others changed so deep
Uncovered by the sea
