The Secret Annex

There's one secret we all keep from ourselves- or try to.

                    The Secret Annex
           
            When I took my then teenage son to see
            The Diary of Anne Frank, I assumed
            he knew her story, but found him near
            tears at the end as he asked in disbelief,
            “After all that, she died?  She died?”

            And although we know that’s the ending
            of every tale, still we cry incredulously,
           “After all this, we die?  We die?”
