Fire

You are so bright, so full of life

You spend your days being happy

And makeing others happy

 

You never think about yourself

You always put others first

You always try to make the grey clouds fade

 

She is crying, and is sad

You come along and see her alone

You help her up

You remind her that she is never alone

 

She is happy again

She's only happy, because you were there for her

She walks home with a smile on her face

 

You made her grey clouds fade away

You gave her a warm hug

And said 'Everything will be okay.'

 

You told her, she has no reason to think

That she is alone

You smile brightly and she feels better

 

When you go home

You take care of everyone else

In your family first

Then when you have nothing left to do

 

You worry about your own needs

You hurt inside, then she calls you

 

She needs your advice

And as always you smile and say

'The sky will clear.'

You make her feel better

 

Inside you hide what you're thinking

You don't say a word of what you're thinking

To anyone, no matter how many times they ask

You say you're okay, and you keep puting on that bright smile

That keeps everyone going, all day

And sometimes at night too

 

You never shed a single tear

No matter how big the problem seems

You stay calm on the outside

On the inside you are scared, you're terrified

 

You smile, and act like nothing happened

When on the inside you want to cry

But no matter what happens

You can't show any fear,

Or a single tear

You just stay hidden

 

He is sad, and comes to you for advice

You tell him many wise things that help him

He thanks you, and you smile brightly

He leaves, as inside

You are barely holding on

 

You don't shed a tear,

And you don't show any fear

You just stay hidden

You pray, and nothing ever changes

 

For everyday,

You smile brightly and say

'I'm okay.'

 

You feel the fire, the sadness

Flowing through you

You feel the anger

You feel the one tear that falls

 

Then when she calls you

You listen to what she talks about

While you are hidden

She doesn't notice the fire inside you

 

The fire, is the anger you hold in

You always put on a smile and act as if

Nothing is wrong, you hide your true feelings

That's the only way you get over things

 

Keeping the fire in

Leting no tear fall

Leting no fear show

 

You smile, and they think you're okay

But I can see through it

 

I can see through the fake smiles

I saw how sad you seemed when

She got the boy you loved most

 

And the boy you loved most

Used you, to get to her

You held in the fire in you

You held the tears back

 

When I questioned how you felt

You said that you never really wanted love

You just wanted a little romance

And that it meant nothing to you

That he is HERs and not yours

 

You helped me out when I was crying

You hid the fire within your soul

 

But I can see through it all

I just pray for you

To keep holding on

 

Because I know,

Eventually you will stop

Hiding the fire within you

You will stop those fake smiles

You will be found.

Sometime better to hide out then be sad. It this world of so much to do and handle in a life. Better not allow the world to destroy you. I like the story. Everyone need a friend to support them. No-one can stand alone. A very good story. I did like the ending. A excellent poem. Thank you.

This poem reminds me of myself a few years back. I was suffering, but I cared more about others then my own safety. -

This was a good poem. Sometimes people just want to hold their emotions, but sometimes people that care the most see through it. They want to break through the shell because they truly care for the person who is hurting. They want them to be able to rely on them. I know some people can see through me. I do the same thing. I help people, but sometimes I don't help myself. I don't rely on anyone. I do things myself. I know some people can see through me. My best friend, she is the only one who really cares for me that way. We both rely on each other, but I don't always talk to her...sometimes...I do things another way...thanks for sharing. :)
