(922) Hidden Truth Poem by Melvina Germain
(922) Hidden Truth
A brave face can certainly be misunderstood.
Too soon lonely in the darkness of the night.
Afraid, crying, hurting out of sight.
No one knows how hard one must fight.
Brave they are to those around them, trying
not to break the silence of what is really
haunting them. A pillar of strength for all to be
in awe, when deep inside there is a flaw.
They walk with dignity for all to see, but
oh too soon will fall to their knees
Sobbing uncontrollably, with such anxiety.
Quivering, not wanting to mix with society
Out of their shell, they crawl in early morn
To show a facade that can be adored
The truth must not prevail, what life really
does entail.
Their fear of truth must never be told.
It is a secret, hidden deep within the soul.
The bearer will endure much pain and sorrow
and ponder of hiding again tomorrow

Melvina, a great poem. Expressed everything that I was feeling about mid week, last week. It really touched my soul, thanks for pointing it out to me. - David
Interesting write, Melvina. Nothing hidden in this piece... you've exposed a truth that so many of us live with day to day. It's just some of us hide it better than others. Well done! Brian

This my friend is a Brilliant piece that makes me cry...The truth hurts so much to see in black and white.I know the place you were in then...it was dark and you could not see your way clear of depression, sorrow and Loss... I was not going to comment on this one but I had to acknowledge your pain and hurt and your feelings at the time.I know you still go through these times to this day...what I pray though is that it is not as often.

Thanx for sharing Melvina sorry for your pain.10/ten! This one is going in my favorites... God Bless. Love, Shelley
