Secret Child

A hidden child within.

Secret Child

a secret child dwells within.

a hidden child with a million smiles

of wisdom, she wants to give.

she is far from and between 

with a quiet and calm demeanor.

It is unseen and untouched 

by most people.

her essence being peaceful.

badness is far from her.

a sneak peak into her secure and

guarded world in my mind,

reveals that peace always reeks,

and this is what she thrives on

inside, keeping her alive.

moving a bit forward, 

there is no worry about 

the color of one's skin.

skin does not matter because 

color is human race,

this comforts and makes her

feel super great.

she is innocent and naturally curious.

compassion is seen through her eyes,

with a strong desire to help those

who are meek on the outside.

she is by no means perfect,

her outside world is truly imperfect,

but inside, her world is full of

righteousness and good.

she would share this if she could.

peace be still is her will.

inside this is necessary 

and understood.

she was born with the gift

of knowing.

discernment and intuition flowing.

a two-edged blade of true sincerity

and dishonesty of others. 

at times she feels this is

a burdensome curse

to her at it's worst.

nevertheless she has deep 

concern for many.

she is sensitive of their feelings,

especially their stressful yearnings

and dealings.

unfortunately her kindness

is viewed as a weakness,

summed up as an advantage 

point for a some.

she is overly caring, discerning,

concerning all, wanting a resolve

to the outward problems.

needless to say, 

this secret child would never 

display her true identity 

and it's deep meaning?

It would simply be defeating.

she does not belong in our 

outside world.

there is too much turmoil 

and drama. 

mad wickedness that is confirmed. 

she will be protected and safe 

in this space in my head, 

my soul and my heart,

within the jasmines of my mind,

where all is possible, unstoppable

and loving kindness is magnificent

and plausible.

she will live forever and reside

because here in my mind

where she can be herself 

and continue to shine,

this secret child of mine.

I enjoyed this poem and I liked the logical ending.
"she will live forever and reside
because here in my mind
where she can be herself
and continue to shine,
this secret child of mine."
Sometime better silence than to recognize a child strengths. The above lines I agree with and thank you Celie for sharing the excellent poetry.
