Gifted and Ashamed - Poetry
She became a vault
Storing the wealth of her inside
Not wanting anyone else to even get a glimpse of all she was called to be
Scared of their remarks
Insecure in the reality
of not feeling worthy of the calling
Scared
She hid
Took the lamp and covered it
Hoping that she could fit in
Feeling like the odd one
Working effortlessly to look the part
Distinguished in her knowledge
Yet knowledgeable enough to know she knows nothing at all
-Briana Ariel
