Dirty Little Secrets



Habits...
those dirty little secrets that feel good.
Oh, they start out simple enough:
sucking your thumb, picking your nose,
belching and farting, that kind of thing;
but as you get older, they get a bit more sophisticated, don’t they.
You start playing with yourself, lying to your parents,
stealing a cigarette from an unguarded pack.
You carry these little gems with you as you stumble through life;
which leads to drinking, recreational drugs, cheating on your spouse;
but it’s all good, right?
Just bad habits -
just some dirty little secrets that make you feel good.
