Hidden amid the darkness,
Hidden amid the pain,
Lies what we always knew we‘d find there,
But were to afraid to face.

Crumpled beneath the fallen,
Lying under the flames,
Sits the fears we hide from,
That we meet face to face.

Scared of the opposition,
Fearful of their strength,
But what they don’t realize,
Is that it’s all the same.

It doesn’t matter who you are,
It doesn’t matter where,
All that matters is that you stand and fight,
For what you want to say.

And yet we stay hidden,
Amid the fire, amid the pain,
Hidden from the world,
Hidden from them.

The same fears,
The same hopes,
The same tragedies.
Hiding from the world.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Elizabeth, this is so very true, all the real potential heroes are too nervous to speak and if only their voices can be heard and listened to the flame no longer will be so elusive and much justice can be made for all! (sigh) This is fabulous, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

A great message you are sending out in this poem and I love the style in which you presented it.

A smile costs nothing, give one away and make someone rich.

There is much pain overcome during short journey called life. With faith we can overcome!

Under the flames - amid the fire.

Yes, becoming cinders, is basically what it is all about! And, it is the faithfulness ~of~ God, which gets us through the singe...eventually turning (burning?) our souls into something like brilliant, sparkling gems.....
indescribable by human notion.

Eventually, each of us the same (?)

Thank you for this poem; it says a lot to me....(Of course that is just my
interpretation, but, it works for me!)

Hope I didn't misconstue ~your~ meaning in this poem. I think you stood and fought very well with the writing of this poem. Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable to 'them' is what it is about.

I enjoyed this a great deal. It made me think and feel.

With warm regards,
Pat

Darkness seems to be catching i cant say I dont approve i find you get more depth and emotion than flowers and candy when expressings pain

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
