Fire Without Flames
The unresolved pain that rages inside of you,
is like a fire without flames.
It's your invisible hurts,
that gives fuel to these flames.
These types of pains
can effect men in so many different ways,
that some men want to lock up their pain in chains,
and hide their shame in shallow graves.
This fire is so deeply hidden from the natural eyes,
not even a down pouring of rain
can penetrate the smoldering flames
hidden deep inside.
Our minds can sometimes feel
like a molten volcanic cave,
that cannot be contained.
It leaves us one pain away,
from being in full blown flames.
By bearing this pain,
and not exposing these flames.
We are only left with guilt and shame.
But the only way to extinguish this fire inside .
Is to lay a side all our pride,
and to also stop believing
the worlds hidden lies ,
that say real men don't cry.
