Truth Or Dare

Glowing shimmering
Radiating light
A blazing inferno
Unmoving, powerful
Raging energy
Hot as the sun
Defying those
Who try to put it out
Refusing to give in 
Never showing weakness
Seems unfeeling
And not wanting anyone
While inside is hidden
By a mask of indifference 
A flickering flame
A small spark 
Warm, and soft
Gentle and desperate 
For someone to share
The worries and fears
Unable, unwilling 
To succumb to tears
Strong it does seem
And unable to dim
The appearance on the outside 
Hides the truth within
