Can You Keep a Secret?
Written by: Maranda Russell
Can you keep a secret?
Will you hold it close,
so close that it vibrates
against your own heartbeat?
Will you bite your tongue,
your teeth slicing through
your taste buds,
leaving rows of bloody beads?
Will you lock pinkies
like we are kids once again,
with the monstrous shadows
chasing us back to adulthood?
Can you keep a secret?
I know you can, and I know you will
because the secrets you keep
loom even larger than mine.

Hi! I am an artist, author, and blogger who also happens to have Asperger’s Syndrome. I have won several awards and honors for my writings and artwork. I suffer from a few severe mental illness and chronic pain conditions (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, Ehlers Danlos, Degenerative Disc Disease, etc.), which greatly affects my life and makes me want to advocate for others going through similar things. Other interests of mine include reading, writing, drawing, watching cartoons and movies, collecting toys, hanging out with my family, and annoying my 3 cats.
