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
