I hide in the dark and wait for the spark of passion to make my heart soar I try to amuse, and my friends abuse; In the daylight I feel like a whore In abject defeat, I fall at your feet and my mirrored self I abhor While smiling the smile, I bide time knowing I'll give buried emotions no door. My self loathing fear, is someone will hear The cry of my heart deep inside my façade gone away, shattered today and I will have nowhere to hide So I shun my friend's hands and make no demands; My broken-ness, hid by steel pride How I long for the day when the stone melts away but my frightened denial gives no guide. I cannot give in to the demon within Yet still I fight, can't you see this nightmare can't end unless you my friend can see though the mask to the me. Help me I pray, I wait for the day When your power of grace sets me free. Then I can become, a person, someone who says I am so glad to be. kethry. When dark of night takes your soul Think of me and be made whole. |

Wow. This is an excellent poem. Feelings of insecurity so well expressed. The facades we build to hide our pain ... Very well done. I hope you are OK, though??!!

Lynn, this is very poignant, and the feeling comes through very well. Great first post, I will read more... Take care Catalinamoon "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |
