No Such Thing as Secrets

I told her something quietly,
I whispered in her ear.
"It's a secret," I said to her,
As I made sure no one else was near.

The next day I heard whisperings,
As I walked through my school.
I could feel the eyes on my back,
"How could she be so cruel?"

Then a friend came up to me wondering,
"I want to know if something is true,
I heard a little rumor,
But it doesn't seem like you."

She told me what she heard,
And I can see how it spread,
It's like that game telephone:
A distorted version of what I said

Now I know who I can't trust,
There's really no one I can tell,
No one who'll just listen
And keep my words confidential.
