Dilema of Wisdom

Tragically I'm trapped, hypothetically speaking,
I'm stuck between two worlds.
Hidden behind a mountain of secrets and lies,
my silence was never heard.

Am I ready to take that leap,
to have my whole life being revealed.
Exposing my secrets, spilling the truth, 
will it end in a chaotic break or will someone be killed.

Is anyone truly ready to hear the truth,
listen to what I really have to say.
With so much wisdom I could offer up,
on any given day.

Embrace the knowledge it could change a life,
first, I need to accept there are things I can't change.
Just accept the terms that have been thrown at me,
and accept the dilemma of wisdom is out of my range.
