the secret

I have a secret hidden behind the wall
Like a junky with needle and spoon
It lies in wait for me
At the fire yesterday
I glanced by mistake and real a line
The line said 'I am born'
Dickens an author penned the line [Chorus]
I have read
Broken the law
I have learned
I have saw
When the sleep was swept from my eyes
I the fool was seen
A wife devoid of thoughts and feelings an empty waking dream
A life spent destroying thoughts preserved in revered tomes
Hopes and dreams, poetry, feelings that make life real
