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.

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.

    We can’t let them.

    But we already have.
