Analysis of Deepest, Darkest Secret
Your deepest, darkest secret is nagging in your mind.
If you choose to share it you can then unwind.
Your deepest, darkest secret is killing joy and peace.
If you choose to share it this you can release.
Your deepest, darkest secret is irksome in your soul.
If you choose to share it you can then console.
Your deepest, darkest secret is near to turn and churn.
If you choose to share it this you can adjourn.
Your deepest, darkest secret is hidden in your heart.
If you choose to share it you can then restart.
Your deepest, darkest secret is like a scorn and hiss.
If you choose to share it this you can dismiss.
Your deepest, darkest secret is pesky in your flesh.
If you choose to share it you can then refresh.
Your deepest, darkest secret is yours and yours alone.
If you choose to share it this you can atone.
