Prevail

[Helvetica]

 Prevail

What looks like a good world,
Is also something unknown, dangerous.
Still you, young and so conspicuous,
Are hidden deep beneath the skin as well.

The pain has never been released; memory
Reminds you how fortunate you are.
Years of hurt, and fear that has been frozen, leaves a scar.
But now, as if by a miracle, you are here.
 
Easily across the land, the city,
You walk, as if in the air, floating.
Carrying your secret burden;
Carrying on.

[Mule]

I think the best part of the poem is the last strophe.  And that part would make a good opening for a different poem.
The rest of this is too vague--or at least not fleshed out enough to be of much interest.  My opinion, of course.

I've reworked this poem:

Prevail

Easily across the land, the city,
You walk, as if in the air, floating.
Carrying your secret burden;

What looks like a good world,
Is also something unknown, dangerous.
Still you, young and so conspicuous,
Are hidden deep beneath the skin as well.

The pain has never been released; memory
Reminds you how fortunate you are.
Years of hurt, and fear that has been frozen, leaves a scar.
But now, as if by a miracle, you are here,

Carrying on.
