    FAMILY SHAME

    IT FEELS SO SAFE TO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS DEEP INSIDE
    WHEN YOUR HISTORY HAS SO MUCH TO HIDE

    IT FEELS SAFE TO THINK THAT NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH
    OF THE MYSTERIES THAT LIE DEEP WITHIN
    A FAMILY SO FILLED WITH SIN

    OUTSIDE IT LOOKS ALL OKAY
    INSIDE YOU HOPE IT WILL JUST GO AWAY - ONE DAY

    SECRETS KEPT DEEP WITHIN
    A FAMILY SO SHAMED WITH SIN

    AT TIMES I JUST WANT TO SHOUT IT OUT
    TO TELL THE TRUTH OF WHAT OUR FAMILY IS REALLY ABOUT

    LIES AND DECEPTION, HATRED AND LOVE
    PEACE AND UNPEACE
    WILL IT EVER BE OKAY
    THE TRUTH TO RELEASE

    OR SHOULD I CONTINUE TO HIDE
    FROM THE UGLINESS AND LIES
    OR SHOULD I JUST PRETEND
    THAT THERE WAS NO SIN

    THESE SECRETS OF DECEPTION HAVE MADE MY LIFE A CURSE
    AND KEEPING THEM INSIDE HAS ONLY MADE IT WORSE
    BUT
    LETTING IT OUT WILL CAUSE TOO MUCH HURT

    SO
    I MUST TAKE WITH ME TO MY GRAVE
    THE TRUE HISTORY OF MY FAMILY SHAME

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
