I Hide (an anaphora)

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
