What's Inside

Complicated!                 

Overrated still             

Not what's seen.      

Couldn't be sought                                    

Not even purchased.                            

Wouldn't it be dreaming?                 

Now that would be a stretch       

Even for someone the likes of me.                              

I suspose if you tried you really can get 

            Inside

Me and then you'd be one of the ones.

Oh yes there's too many people.

They only trying to keep up

They're on each street

Trying to reach out,

Wanting a piece;

Some desert,

Apple pie,

Frosting!

 

Author's Note

Its prettier than it sounds. I just wanted to see if I could stretch my poetry algebraically.

"What's inside"
LSS,
Inside; a secret place, separate world. Alone, we all carry this complexity.
Lovely is this essence of our being. Are we hidden? I wonder how much of what is hidden to others is really not? To God I know we are a open book.
Your poem brought a feeling of community with others in this world.
Thanks much for the beautiful writing!
Kathy
