\'Hiding in plain sight,
like a mind abused.
Watching from the side lines,
Agreeing with the group.
Hoping no one will notice
The lie inside of you.

And when you cant deny it,
Still you hide the truth.
Away from the prying eyes,
You discover the butterfly,
Inside the cocoon. \'
(Brilliant!)

Really emotive and filled with half-spoken anguish stoically navigated. Hope all works out well and that your poetry helps make sense of the turmoil life can seem when it\'s all so in yer face and immediate.

You are all heart, that\'s a wonderful thing. Stay strong for those with hearts are always vulnerable in a toxic world mainly peopled by the heartless. Your poems speaks truth from the heart to the heart.

Our children are surprised when we come up with gems...from time to time! We, as parents, need to support our astute children with your awesome message!
Perhaps this quote is a forever quote...

“...forever only lasts
As long as ever does.”

I know I’ll reference it many times! Thank you!

Dave,
A great poem! The greatest thing about it is not only its structure but...
ITS MESSAGE!
All you say is the absolute truth!
As I like to say, “Been there...done that!”

WELCOME DAVE Thanks for your first POEM ~ very very true and in the last 17 years (18 ~ 35) I have Loved & Lost many times ~ but (in my opinion) \"Better than to have never loved at all !\" I am engaged (for the first time) but ANGELA (30) is in New Zealand for a year ~ I am praying that \"Absence\" really does make the heart grow fonder ! Loved every word of your poem and its structure ~ more please ! Please check my Flowers Poem ~ Yours BRIAN
