Secrets

So I have one. It's not really mine but i keep it. I must admit I'm struggling with it. When is it ok to tell a secret? I've been pondering this for a few days. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a trust worthy person. But if no one tells you the secret do you put it in the same category as a normal secret. I don't think this secret would harm anyone. Maybe just me for telling it. But at the same time certain people deserve to know. It's not fair to not tell. I feel like i'm in the halls of my jr high school. Scared of loosing a friend. Or the kid across the table in kindergarten watching someone chop their hair off. But in this case it's family. I'm silently standing by watching someone i love keep a secret. Now i understand why it's kept quiet. But as an older wiser person I feel like it's a big deal. If no one knows i know will it slowly kill me. It feels this way. Have you ever seen that skit on Saturday night live? The one with Sue, she try's so hard not to tell a secret then blurts out bits and pieces before spilling it as she smashes herself in the head with something. It's hilarious. I'm sue right now. Every time the phone rings i feel my teeth clench down on my tongue. I'm completely torn. Do i tell the secret holder that i know? Would that release the tension or just redirect it? For now i keep it close in hopes I don't let it hurt anyone but me. Wish me luck in keeping my big yap shut. I heard a song once by a band named the pierces. It goes like this:

I've got secret can you keep it, swear this one you'll save. Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave. If i show you then i know you won't tell what i said, cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead....
