It's Like…A Secret

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I'm not hiding it but they can't see
It's like they are blinded by the fluff
And by what society wants them to be

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I tried to tell them but they didn't hear
It's like the words went up into their head
And then in and out of both of their ears

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I wrote a book so that they could smell
It's like they read the entire book
And on my age is where they dwell

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I ramp up my energy so they can feel
It's like they are so caught up with their past
And they haven't figured out yet how to heal

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I am a silly intellectual so they can taste
It's like they are super confused by me
And think my youth is going to waste

It's like I have a secret that no one knows 
I've been trying to tell them that I'm coming
It's like they ignore all of my growth
And can't smile at who I am becoming

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
But maybe it is not my business to announce
Where I'll be and what I'll do
They will either accept it or denounce

It's like I have a secret that no one knows
I guess it will just remain a secret
Until the universe finally explodes
And decides that it can no longer keep it
