The Secret

In the glittering twilight
My mind begins to wander
I look within my blackened soul
My past, begin to ponder

I think now and then
Of the life I am destined to lead
For without great villains
One cannot great heros breed

I struggle with my soul
What determines wrong from right?
What is good? What is evil?
What help is it to fight?

Dark secrets lie deep within
Secrets just as grave,
As anything imaginable.
I'll hold them to my dying day!

Not a soul to turn to.
No one can understand.
I've grown to be some monster!
This isn't what I planned.

My mind has grown so fragile
IT haunts me everyday.
No need to ask me what it is.
For I will never say!

Not my brother or my sister.
My parents must never learn!
Not my spouse or my children.
Though how much they beg and yearn.

And though they lay me down to rest
My secret never off my chest.
