The silent rumble
The deafening silence
Actions try to overcome
But always seem to fail miserably
Outer is familiar
Inner, a plateau not existing before
Like a row of newly discovered islands
The forbidden fruit of life
Like darkness in a room full of light
Or a dust bunny in a room free of dirt
The unknown soldier that saved many
Yet the infamous force that destroyed all

- Comment from author about the poem: To me, this poem is a reflection of how someone may be one way on the outside, yet another way on the inside. Some people may have a hard time letting out their true feelings and never seem to wear their heart on their sleeves. I hope you all enjoy.

I am glad you wrote a comment for this poem moonwriting. I usually try to read the poem first before reading any of the author's comments. I do like your choice of words, but being quite daft sometimes I don't think I would have come to the same conclusion. Still don't get the last two lines. This is a reflection on me, not on your poem!
I am glad you liked the comment and choice of words. To clear up the last two lines: They are basically a reveal of how some people have the heart to help others and make everyone around them feel better, but when it comes to their personal feelings, they push them to the side or pretend that those underlying feelings are not there at all. Some people slowly "destroy" themselves in an effort to keep their true feelings hidden from themselves or other people.
Thank you so much moonwriting, now I understand! Takes me a while sometimes 🙂
