I Hide (an anaphora)

AnnieBodiford

I hide with grace and a smile


I hide with my inner most being and strength

 

I hide with the power but never forget


I hide in transition to a next level beginning

 

I hide with talents and gifts I never show

 

I hide in pain, turmoil, but I am overcoming

 

I hide with the constant fear of unintentional trust that is the true nature within myself

 

I hide with my heart strings being pulled again by the broken

 

I hide calm, constantly calculated, and analytical

 

I hide only to emerge when again I can trust and the fire within me is charged

 

I hide watching the destruction, sabotage, and road blocks tossed in my path

 

I hide quietly, actualizing the naivety of those that I thought I once knew

 

I hide refusing to continue to allow those to surround me

 

I hide only to say I learned, I grew, but I never gave up

 

I hide knowing that what is revealed, uncovered from under the ashes, is something hard as a diamond

 

I hide waiting to shimmer so intense it blinds, it exposes the truths, and overshadows the path of those that have tried to break me

    This is beautiful. Such an uplifting message for courage and perseverance. I'm all about resilience and finding your true-self. Especially in my poems. This is great and the repetition really lifts your message.
