Dancer in the Dark

Dancer in the Dark

A Poem by Rhianne Ney
"

"i have a talent but i choose yo hide it"

"
She have a talent,
But she chose to hide it,
Dancing in an old stage,
Which concealed her true visage.

Afraid to be seen,
What a coward she have been,
Letting her performance
Be seen by the darkness only.

Not imagining a crowd's applause,
But accepting silence,
Because every shoe sound,
Contains the happiness she felt.

Oh. I was saying what about what I said. You weren't reading it I WAS.

Yeah, right sorry I got tad bit confused there (:
What a coward she have been-->she has been. have is when the verb refers to a plural noun. : )

This poem conveys a great message, and the language is beautiful. I especially liked the lines: Letting her performance/ Be seen by the darkness only--and--the last stanza. Well done.

No problem, thanks for sharing such a nice poem.
It's a pretty good poem, and I love how you were inspired by a manga. I love how it doesn't rhyme but still seems to flow very well. ^^

very thought provoking indeed. My daughter also reads Magna, she loves it. I can see how you got your inspiration from it for this poem. You have a great way of taking inspiration and turning it into a beautiful poem.

Then it is time to stop hiding it because it is beautuiful and as you say you believe in God. He believes in you. Do not diss him!

Thank you..
Very poetic. :) I love the concept, it's wonderful. I like how they're doing it for themselves, to make them happy, and not someone else.
I think the middle verse is my favorite... definitely something I've experienced.

Everyone has their own 'happy place' of retreat and security. There they can relax and be themselves. Enjoy the moment.
