Troy Nelson Poet Free verse

Truth Or Dare

Shhhhhh...
Can you keep a secret?
I'm mentally ill.
I'm a psychotic psychosomatic
paranoid schizophrenic
of the disorganized type.
Shhhhhh...
Can you keep a secret?
I'm one of them
I'm an alien from a distant land
a spy from another time
a fed
hired from the past.
Shhhhhh...
Can you keep a secret?
I don't think you can.
I'm Nostradamus writing poetry
here to find the secret passage
in the Royal Palace
while millions watch me
on television.
Shhhhhh...
Can you keep a secret?
I'm a chronic self lover
suffering from codependent love hungers
a manic depressive
programmed to be
**** attentive
compulsive obsessive
with low self esteem.
Can you keep this a secret?
Shhhhhh...
