Inside of Us

The inside of everyone is two things:

Beautiful, like a flower in the woods.

And ugly, like the wars we choose to fight.

Yet, can't we find beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty?

So maybe, just maybe, those two things are just halves of one whole.

And I know, we need both those things to be us.

Without them, we're just empty shells.

Bodies going throughout our everyday lives.

So remember what's inside of you.

And make an effort to be kind.

Remember what's inside of us.

Inside of all of us.

  • Death's Door

    When someone is sick, we say they're on Death's doorstep.

    But aren't we always?

    People always act like we're so far away from death.

    But really we're not.

  • Me

    Who am I?

    I don’t even know anymore.

    I’ve shed the person I once was in favor of a new one.

    Yet, I’m still that person.

    I’m both at once and neither.

    So who am I?
