Not Actually Sure

Youth of Darkness
Excelling at life after hanging 
between heaven and hell…
Disproving the world of 
thoughts of innocence and 
naivety…
Hidden in her fabricated shell of 
silence…
The Darkness of Youth hides 
her true demeanor…known not 
by the world what she can be…
Sacrifice willing to be made for 
others…potential willing to be 
wasted…to save the innocents…
Foreign battlefields readily 
risked…to put her skills to the 
test…
Troubled companions...train for 
the dangers of her future…by 
helping each other instead of 
themselves…
She knows not what can be 
accomplished…if only she was 
revealed  to the one most 
deserving to know of all…her…
Her mind works above the 
capacity of her peers…but stays 
excusive to those

Death isn't always the easiest way out. Maybe for the individual who dies but not for the one's left behind, light may seem distant or nearly extinguished but it is always there waiting for us to follow it:) Another great write!
