Roar

Just because she roars
Doesn't mean she doesn't feel 
You don't know her ordeal
Stop and think before you squeall
You don't know what she has to conceal 
You couldn't possibly know how she feels

She hasn't made any deals
She tries to be real
And Before you appeal 
You should love her enough to let her heal

I feel these words so deeply. One should never judge a book by its cover- nor should anyone try to know someone, until they truly know them. I wish to save this in my favorites. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Expressive and wise words Anne-Lise. We hardly ever know what a person is experiencing, and yet people are quick to surmise, to judge. Congrats on POTD. Hugs // paul

Congratulations on this empathetic poem being honored as POTD... So true, oft we fail to see any inkling of the pain another person is or has once endured and how it has affected that person. A fav..

It's so easy to be afraid of a "Roar," not understanding it might be made by someone in pain... "she tries to be real" shows understanding, and the whole poem is one of empathy. Well done, and welcome to Poetry Soup!
