“SECRETS ON MAIN”

I can’t keep telling my secrets on main
but I’m intoxicated!
LOOK AT ME
THE MOST TRANSPARENT THING
don’t you just wanna know everything about me?
take my honesty for granted
like the most audacious blessings
seriously
take it
I’ve got too much & I
think you need it more than me
here’s your permission
to appreciate some oversharing
here’s your opening for some openness
an outpouring of authenticity
if there’s anything I can give let it be fearless sincerity
let it be a lack of apology
let it be loud
because there is too much silence there is too much shame
so here I am, standing up
directly in its way.
