Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Secret

I have a secret held quite long,

The truth of which I've never told.

It be a deed I'd done so wrong,

When I was young, and now I'm old.

A few times in my life I've had

To keep my truth so lie do tell

To make my truth not seem so bad,

And not be such a living hell.

So as you read this, maybe you

Are thinking my secret will be

Finally revealed, but not so,

My secret's truth won't come from me.

Live with my secret and its lie,

Its truth I hold until I die.
