This Truth of Mine

As a child, I learned that life is cruel And justice is blind My loving family filled with secrets and care All I ever wanted A love to call my own A place to be unafraid of my surroundings Why am I ever denied Leaving scars on my heart All I ever needed was a love that is real To never feel alone and disregarded All I ever wanted was my time on the moonlit path of romance To feel loved and safe But I was held to a standard around my elders Hope that they would change their ideas So my hope was twisted and rooted to fear I hide myself, who I am, All I ever wanted acceptance and love So keep hidden my secret designs my plots a face worn I watch on the outside as others delight in the pleasures and joys of love Days turn to hours and hours to years When they solve the mysteries once beheld by misguided eyes And all truths are spoken confessions boldly told Then can I finally come home
