Love and Trust

We all have dark secrets.
The things we keep hidden in the shadows of the closet,
that we keep eight different types of locks on.
We feel certain that if anyone knew those secrets
then there would be no way we could be worthy of their love.
We would be outcast.
So, we hold tight to those secrets,
letting them eat us like a disease,
slowly devouring our self-confidence and sense of worth.
The saddest part to all this is that there is a simple cure for this diesease;
Trust.
Trust the ones you hold dearest to your heart
to love you no matter what,
for it is by that  love that you are redeemable.
