In the shadows

 

It’s true. I wish it weren’t
A blatant lie would have been easier to digest
It’s hurtful, this truth!

Wish I was just ignorant
Not knowing the truth from the lies

It’s true. I wish it was different
Now I am doomed to keep this secret stashed deep in my mind
Locked up, with the keys thrown away

Wish I was oblivious
Just living and dying in the shadows
