inside the box

inside a box the secret was placed 
away from societies cruel judgments
strange and different, they don’t tolerate 
just ostensive, bully 
                                    then shun with hate

I kept away the solemn everlasting truth
inside a mind filled with, many a delusion
the outside world, never once, never knew
 all of my hurtful shame
                                      all of my hurtful pain


my secret I kept hidden, way down below
locked away inside this well secured box 
I, and only I, choose when to turn its key
to release its contents
                                      to it fly high and free

all my life I kept my deep, dark secret
and I had to laugh with a contented smile
while deep inside I grinned and bared
when they just laughed
                                  pointed and stared

now with you I feel enough comfort
 to unburden, to fully share 
to unlock this buried deep box  
will let the truth fly
                                  without a care

so as I unlock my secret box
I will be shaking, feeling scared
and I won’t blame you if, running
out the door
                      you 
                             went
