Dark Secrets

Yesterday, the words I spoke were quite true

How can what I feel be so very wrong?

Acceptance is not natural to you

Surely, you’ve experienced some bad times

Why don’t I have the right to feel and grieve?

And to sometimes feel sadness and despair?

You in your life can’t possibly conceive

The pain and obstacles I face each day

So, now you are angry because I told

What gives you the right to judge what I feel?

Now onto my darkest secrets I must hold

No longer having the freedom to share

Even if you can’t resolve to accept

My thoughts apparently foreign to you

It seems they’re entitled to your respect

After all, I deserve my feelings too
