A Poet In the Shadows

I am the poet in the shadows,
My name unknown to many,
Heed not the word of the man who stands in front of you,
For we are different, not allowing even a clue,

I am the silence that hides within the night,
A man who hides his own identity,
Using my words to bring one's soul a measure of serenity,
Their happiness and peace, my reward,
Faith in humanity, once again restored,

Wandering once more into my cave of thoughts,
To pen my soul's words, to make sense of the world,
Poetry is immortal, its value forever priceless,
Till the strength in my fingers elude me, i shall continue writing,
Until my existence reaches its conclusion,
abandoning the need to keep on fighting..
