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
