Brave Heart

Tainted with diffusing evil.

Question of How? under adversity.

Deep sorrow of those who love you,

with unwanted, unacceptable, unheard-of thinking.

Fought through fear and terror, admitting to yourself

and the world around you, no question the defeat of malevolence.

 

Able and free, celebrate!

Two fingers arranged from your eyes to mine,

 identical reflection of state of mind.

One day, cool September. Go wild, feel silly, dance, have fun.

In our secret place we inhaled euphoria, laughing.

No one knows.

 

Uneasy, hesitant, before the dreadful, horrifying upcoming,

Panicked heart, anxious fingers, and petrified mind while anticipating report.

Burdened by the words we longed never to hear again.

Tainted with diffusing evil.

 

A smile and positive approach made known,

weariness and frightfulness hidden within, unable to comprehend.

Stent in your conduit, counteracting flow constriction, compels me to cringe.

 

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone.

Searched for words, finally found.

Continue the battle with swords and shields.

To finally conquer.   

 

Hard hit.

Persevere with power, ferocious fight, and sure survival!

We’ll endure together.

I pray, someday a miracle will relieve your pain.

Daily strength to overcome, don’t you ever give up.

 

Know that I am always with you.

Hold your head high brave heart!

It seems to me as if it is about a person who keeps running towards the things that are bad for them and make bad decisions, despite the warnings given by others. Possibly seeing this person in a different light? I believe there are many different ways to decipher this poem, in its cryptic, yet descriptive nature. It's very well written. :)
