Dont hide it

You are you brilliant but hide it
Able to fill up thoughts and dreams to overflowing
The sheer exuberance of it cascades down the sides
Of that what was meant to contain it.
Covering this place in all that is you.
Because it is in you
It is you!

Why constrain it?
Charred limbs and blackened stumps
That tree that has been burnt too many times and refuses to grow.
You can pass on never looking, because looking only serves the past
Those memories that you held dear, that cling to you like his scent.
Those memories that caught fire and burned loud and bright
Leaving what you are now, lost and alone, refusing to see.
That dull ache of pain faded but never gone.
Holding it close because it reminds you, you are still alive.
