Secret keeper

How does one become a butterfly ? You must want to fly so much 
that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. Trina Paulus
 
I used to be a secret keeper
tightly guarding
all the things I didn’t want people
to know about me
my low self-esteem
feelings of loneliness
depression
unhealed shame

But there came a day
when I could no pretend no longer
  I started to tell my secrets "out loud"
and like the butterfly
I became free.

"I've always liked the time before dawn
because there's no one around
to remind me who I'm supposed to be,
so it's easier to remember who I am."
