Unselfish, she shared what she thought she knew.
Had gathered the info from reliable sources
I took it with a pinch of salt; nothing new!
Whether it was true was anyone's guess!
"It's a secret!" she said rolling her eyes.
"Don't reveal to anyone; I trust you!"
I felt burdened with trust (or was it lies?)
Why chosen to bite more than I can chew?
Attended more same-secret-sharers on the line!
Friends narrating twists & turns in a similar tale!
'Chinese Whispers' winding the secret- not fine!
My mind protested- "Enough is enough; no fun!"
The reality is that everyone shares secrets with me.
Their secrets are safe; no amoral sharing with anyone!
Just shared my secret that I carry many secrets heartily!

A secret is something that everyone tells everyone not to tell anyone!After she was gone, there was a phone call & email.

it's good to have trust of others :)
ReplyDeleteHow true this is. Wish there were more secret keepers that you tell a burdensome secret to knowing that they wouldn't repeat it.
ReplyDeleteAh secrets (✿◠‿◠) the juiciest, the more questionable
ReplyDeletemuch love...
This made me smile - you have a surfeit of secrets!!!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad there's not a box where you can lock them up. They always seems to be a bit skewed to the teller's benefit.
ReplyDeleteSuch a delightful read :D
ReplyDeleteexcellent.
ReplyDeleteit's good that people can trust you with their secrets
ReplyDeleteNo matter how securely you shackle your secrets, they always find an escape route.

Neat poem, recording a familiar phenomenon. I must say that rarely have I been told a secret that people did NOT want passed on. I've been rather disappointing to gossip mongers
ReplyDeleteWonderful! A great take, Anita:)
ReplyDeleteWe are tempted to do when told not to. If the words 'secret' and 'don't reveal' are not a part of the matter, then probably people will be more trustworthy. Super poem!
