• To Live a Secret Life:
    To live a secret life kindles a fire,
    with leaping, raging flames.

    The flames of fear feed greedily on emotion,
    and pay up terrible thoughts
    designed to torment horribly.

    So the Franks, imaginative Anne,
    and the others,
    had to live.

    For over two long years,
    with this fire burning inside every person present.

    Living with such endlessly greedy flames
    requires a cure.

    Watery ripples of hope
    ripple 'cross the flames,
    distorting them.

    The flames calm,
    ease back,
    purr instead of roar.

    Living a secret life kindles an inferno,
    While hoping begins a waterfall.

    Letting the fuel, the emotion, out,
    through watery tears,
    cascading waterfalls
    to wash away the flames of fear.

    I do not want to be Anne,
    or the others,
    to be caught in such a war,
    between fire and water,
    Fear and Hope!
