It slipped out.
Only my heart was to know it.
But now it is out for the world to judge and see.
I have betrayed myself.
I can’t get it back.
It is in the wrong hands now.
Pearls cast before swine.
Before me, my world unwinds.
Stated, it's now set in stone.
Judged, tossed around by others.
Placed n the chopping block.
But it was for me to keep.
Never for others to know.
