My past is a secret I hide within myself
My existence, a sorrow I cannot talk about
My life is full of shadows, out of reach on a high shelf
Chained and locked inside a box, for fear it will get out
I cannot share these secrets, but if you ask, I cannot lie
I wish you not to ever know, the person I was then
The one forever locked away, bound and gagged inside
Don’t ask for more than I can give, I just can’t let you in
At least, not yet…
