Analysis of Deepest, Darkest Secret
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
I have Secrets!
I will NEVER Tell!
Secrets so BOLD!
You will Scream and Yell!
A secret so Dark!
A secret so True!
A secret that will turn you
BLACK into BLUE!
A secret so Far!
A secret so Wide!
A secret so Scary!
You will run and Hide!
A Deep, Dark Secret!
You will NEVER Hear!
A secret so Furious!
It will bring you to Fear!
A Deep, Dark Secret!
A secret to Behold!
This Secret is sacred!
BECAUSE YOU will Never Know!!!!
