Heart Fires

Fire burns within my soul.

 My heart is molten lava.

 

 How can I let them know the flames that engulf me every moment.

I burn to let others see the reality of me.

A few have glimpsed the truth behind the mask.

 They get a glimmer of how intense I am.

 

 I am afraid to let my guard down.

Terrified of getting hurt.

 

I see the good in people - even if it sometimes doesn't exist.

 

 I feel many times like I will explode with the feelings deep inside.

 Can it ever get easier - to let people see me.

 

 I feel like I am a super nova.

 So scared that I can harm those around me.

 

Does it ever get simple.

Living life with such a passion hidden so far under the surface.

Buried and controlled.

 

 Only in my dreams and fantasies I have I found those that can see me.

 

Those that can feel me.

 

 And only then can I truly be free.

    I felt like your words truly represented a fire or an inferno of some sort.
    I can also relate with this poem to an extent which is always good when I'm reading poetry on here.
    Good job.

    Great thoughts! This is telling and touching in a way. The state of feeling like you are not known to those around you can feel safe, until you really want to be understood, then its time to risk judgment. Good Write.

    Wow! I loved this!
    This line is all to true for me as well:
    "I see the good in people - even if it sometimes doesn't exist."

    Amazing!!

    Funny, when you can suddenly see glimpses of yourself, over & over, in another person's words...hmm. Very well written & expressed. Peace, Syah

    This is powerful, it makes me feel as I've only glimpsed a glimmer of that makes up the whole of my friend. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. And I love the intensity of your personality. We've all said how much legacy has not been the same without you there...we lost that warm sense of you, how it was a calm feeling of mellow and excitement and happiness all at the same times. Getting to know you has been truly one of the greatest gifts in this world. And I hope you know how much you are loved my friend.
