Mask lifted, shroud cast aside, secrets revealed for all the world to see; private life made public, your secret identity- the real you- has been uncovered and set-free. People work with you, they live with you, and they think that they know everything about you- from your hair color to your shoe size; people may see you and talk to you every day, but they will never know you, nor would even recognize your true voice, until you reveal it to them- and the reaction to such a revelation can be one of unbelievable surprise. Friends, co-workers, and family members, don’t believe what they are hearing at first- when the secret life that you have been living is announced to the heavens it is always in a way that, if you had the choice, you would have hoped to have rehearsed. People don’t always intend to lead a second life- most of the time the real you gets pushed to the shadows, for the sake of conformity- you act and talk in a way that you are expected to- while in your private thoughts and moments you live as best that you can all the things that make you happy and you become the person that you always wanted to be. There is always a reason for a secret- sometimes it is for protection, sometimes it can be to keep a mystery alive; sometimes a secret desperately needs to be told, sometimes the depths that following a secret will take you to, of something or someone, rival the discoveries of a deep-sea dive. Even when you ask a magician how they did their magic trick- even though you want to know- you never want to know, for fear of the knowledge that it is something that you could do yourself. People ask what the meaning of life is, but secretly they would be content to never know and keep the answer buried for all eternity below an ice-shelf. Keep a secret for as long as you can, and if it is a secret about you then think long and hard about what you are keeping a secret and why, and ask yourself whether it is a secret that you can always keep ahead of and out-run; think about what other people could be keeping a secret from you and why, and repeat in your mind and to everyone that you meet that you really don’t know someone. -poet of the sphere This poem seriously spoke to me, and i hope this will remind me of who i really am and who i want to be
