Song: https://youtu.be/f_AyjjBAV8c

We have chosen this song because it fits well with our theme of everyone keeps secrets. This song is from the popular show Pretty Little Liars and it is played as the main theme for the show. It is about a girl who tells someone very close to her a secret and that person told it, so now the girl wants to get revenge. We chose this song because Romeo and Juliet have a secret that only Friar Lawrence and the Nurse; that is their marriage. There is another secret where Friar Lawrence told no one about giving Juliet the sleeping potion.

Poem:

The Secrets We Hide

Tiffany Franklin

we struggle to have meaning

in this world which we all know

we try but yet we wonder

where we all should go

hidden in the questions

which we can not find

the answers are all hidden

deep inside our minds

hidden in our soul

is the life we try to hide

but in time it will find you

and it will release

all of its secrets hidden beneath

so before it ruins the life you have made

release those dark secrets

and the memories will fade

hidden in our lives are stories left untold

of the things we didn't want them to know

but once you tell somebody

and make your feelings known

the struggle will be over

and you'll finally be home
