Because I Have a Secret

Because I have a secret so awful, I only tell a few.

It is something I was born with, you would hate it too

People only listen to the media and the bullets that flew

Only be sure to tell the ones who care about you

Loneliness is inevitable, even when the sky is blue

And people you thought would understand are the ones you'll lose

Respect will be gone when you thought it tight as glue

Dismay can be constant when you accept that it is true

Emotions are afraid to be felt and you won't know what to do

Pity is rarely given despite what you've been through

Realizing you've been duped by doctors you want to sue

Expect for the worse and you won't have much to lose

Sadness is an understatement and not the right term to use

Security is not a given, what they say is not true

Internalize it all, forget the stones you threw

Obsess on how to get better but there's nothing you can do

Never tell anyone is my advice to you
