Rarely will I bare my soul
I guard it with great care
A careless word from you
Means that I won't share
Sometimes my life scares me
I daresay this is strange
Caressing what is familiar
While barely making a change
That carefree laugh you hear
Beware it's sometimes fake
Hiding the pain within
Carefully concealing the ache
Things are different for me
And I am well aware
How some this matters not
While others stop and stare
Yet I have fared quite well
A great career, well earned
Friends and family who care
And some great lessons learned
I often find my firebare
That arena suits me best
Farewell to the darkness
Fanfare for the rest
Definitions from The Online Plain Text English Dictionary:
Firebare
(n.) A beacon.

I think the font colors that you chose, gives this a well colored tone representative of 'struggle'. It adds so much to the content of your nice poem. Good job.
