When No One's Around

Heart and soul and opinions abound,
quieted by a fear for my voice's sound.
 
Words bubble beneath my intricate brain, 
forever upspoken and broken in my refrain. 
A solitary flame of faith and hope,
dealing with a crippling inability to cope. 
Silence and jokes disguise the truth,
beliefs hidden from even the greatest sleuth. 
 
Heart and soul and opinions abound,
flickering brightest when no one's around.
