LITTLE SECRET
May I tell you a little secret
But please don't let anyone know
That I am not strong
But actually weak
That I don't know
where I am going
Lost in rough sea
I cling to my tiny boat
With no life jacket
That if you look at me closely
You see my house
Is made of cards
And not brick
That every day I turn of the sound
Holding cotton to my ear
As the world sings a song
My mind doesn't want to hear
That the bravado of a ******* man
Swinging a shirt above his head
Hides a little boy
Who was bullied at school
That I am like the little girl
Who slept with every guy in town
But was actually scared
To sleep with just one
Or the guy who could
Have every single girl
But to scared to take his pants off
So hid in the Loo
That every day I close my eyes
As I walk a narrow path
With a shear drop on either side
That I scale a rope bridge
Across a great raven
Made with a decaying wood
That I sometimes do things
I wish not to do
I will even be your play thing
If it helps me fit in
That I do not possess Rhino skin
It is actually paper thin
Every word can break my skin
That my heart doesn't roar
But hides like a
Little Lamb stuck in
A Lion's den
Thank you for letting me
Share my little secret
But please don't let anyone know
That I am not strong
But very weak
