Whispers

Whispers are the things we share when we’re sure no one is listening,
Or maybe just when we don’t want anyone else to hear.
Whispers are the things we share when we have a secret to tell
About someone else, but never about ourselves,
Because to whisper a secret about ourselves takes too much risk;
We might actually be telling someone something important,
Or shocking,
Or too damaging to just let out there
And risk being laughed at,
Or teased,
Or even worse -
Whispered about in secret to someone else.
Better to keep it quiet, or maybe,
SCREAM your whisper from the rooftops!
That way no one can possibly have anything on you,
Or ever break your faith in them
By breaking your trust
And sharing your secrets whispered.
