Old stuff

What was it he saw
that others couldn't see,
What was it he heard
that others didn't hear,
The shadows for him, were darker than most-
The man who kept a secret.

Was his life more a dream
Than others were
Or was it just him -
being paranoid ,
It burned inside him, and ate his gut-
The man who kept a secret.

He went about life like
the norm was on,
Ignoring the stares
and the whispers about.
"I understand more, and so forgive more"
-The man who kept a secret.

The whispers were shouted
and the stares now blatant,
The laughing and jeering
echoing through his head,
In terror he realized, he was wrong all along.

- It was they who kept the secret
