I
by Harold MillicanI
I am a young man,
Appearing great in disguise
But there is more unsaid there
Than what meets the eyes
I am an enigma
A misunderstood prince
An incomplete puzzle exactly this moment
I exist fragmented and am seen in one light
I am never completely
Still each passing night
A secret looks at me day after day
I never ever share it
For fear Id be locked away
Imagine me without support
Without family
Without love or compassion
Without anything
Alone and left to perish
No one to call my own
Wandering through a labyrinth forsaken
All my chances blown
Its a grey cloud
But I know what I can be
I know that I am a diamond
More really
I will make a difference and smile come what may
And go forward in love
Until my dying day
