Hidden Words

Stephanie Lynn Delaney 1977 (Toronto)

Why do we write our words that are so deep?
We let our secrets that are hidden seep.
Into the world that is so wide
But whom can we trust with the words we utter.
The shadows that haunt us...
Finding our way , in the path of life.
We seek the answers to the unknown
Searching our heart, Searching our soul.
What will be found, but the unknown?
Give me the guidance to answer my questions.
As I put my words into lines for others to see.
Why do we do this, is it expression?
Is it confession?
Deep in the shadows I seek the light
Seek the answers to the unknown.
Before I put the words that are so deep
Into lines other's may not keep.
