Some Sad Dark Secret

Some Sad Dark Secret

β€˜Temper your enthusiasm,’
She said,
β€˜The extremes of your reactions;
You should have
A more conventional frame
On which to hang
Your unconventionality.’
β€˜Don’t push people,’
She said,
β€˜You make yourself vulnerable.’

Was I was hiding
Some sad
Dark secret from the world?

She told me not to rhapsodise,
That it would be difficult,
Impossible, perhaps,
For me to harness my dynamism.
The tone of my work,
She said,
Is often a little dubious.
She said
She thought
That there was something wrong.

As if I was hiding
Some sad
Dark secret from the world.
