Confidential

I have a secret
A tale of two halves to tell
A silence that must be broken
Words that must be spoken
For the sake of my sanity
And, to be honest, a bit of my vanity

I have a secret
And this secret, while mine to tell
Is something I have kept silent for years
And probably is anything major in the general existence of mankind

I have a secret
A presence perched on my shoulder
A weight I have carried with me
From the day I crawled out my mother's womb
And shared my first words

I have a secret
A little secret

I like to be heard
