Transparency

I cried and I begged
I tried and I bled
I fought and I clawed
I thought and I read

I'm lone and in misery
I'm grown but a mystery
I'm small but a lion
I'm silent but a siren

A wish in the making
A niche in an awaking
A bird in a comfy nest
A herd starts the quaking

The truth impossible to see
The proof impossible to believe
The lie told to write this story
The unfortunate soul without the glory
