Strength
***
Hiding my emotions
From this dark and empty world. . .
Protected by a wall
Of fire and of ice. . .
My fragile and yet mysterious heart
Remains guarded evermore.
Lost in my mind's charade,
Living out the masquerade,
I have no need to be dependent
On the fickle bands of society.
This world of mine is all I need
To be sustained,
To survive.
No one to ever read me-
No one to really see me.
Hiding in the shadows, all alone,
I am free from the judgment-
Since no one can truly judge
What one has never seen.
So, then, you can't hurt me.
But, then, you can't save me.
This is the truth that I truly know,
My greatest strength. . .
My greatest curse. . . .

~~author's note~~
This was another Raven POV (if you couldn't tell). I'm not sure if it is more her or more me, but she was my inspiration. . . . I hope you enjoyed it. Please review if you so desire. If you happen to be reading my poem series "Falling", the next chapter should be up soon.
