"My Secret" Inspired by Making Friends with Alice Dyson:

My Secret

I have a secret plan,

hidden even from

my parents and friends.

It has to stay secret

to be real.

Step three is already in motion,

and they didn’t notice

when I took the first.

Will they be mad at me?

Will they be happy for me?

Will they join me

or stop me?

I can’t think of that now.

My secret still feels

fragile.

One wrong look,

one anger-fueled comment,

might break my secret plan.

Just this once,

I want to do it for me.

Just this once,

I want to see my own idea bloom.

Just this once,

I want to feel free.
