Poem
A troubled man held a dark guarded secret Deep in a closet of his mind for years on end No one knew this hidden in his anxious soul Expect a long-trusted confidant and close friend But secrets are difficult to put under lock and key It’s like putting a leash on the strongest hurricane Secrets can break out as one who seeks to be free Yet, constantly pursued and divined by the suspicious A great fear lingers in a troubled fortified mind Especially that of a guarded holder of the hidden Will the secret ultimately break free and thusly find Itching ears that belong to the malicious and evil kind It’s sad when the secret is stripped of shelter and cover By a confidant and friend who proves guilty of vile abuse For whom else could make one’s soul cringe and shudder When by a trusted one the secret is unclothed and laid bare Secrets are vulnerable to one’s inner weaknesses And the ambitions of those of devious minds and nefarious goals Those who desire to be spotlighted on the world’s stage Boldly telling the secrets of a friend sworn to be untold Gains from such misuse of relational trust can offer fame May grease the palms of those who develop such evil schemes But the yields are hard to justify or condone what’s been done When the curtain of life comes down on an exposed and destroyed soul
