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.

  • My Thoughts

    A thousand thoughts pounding into my head ALL THE TIME.

    Whirring past at a million miles per hour.

    Filling my head with noise.

    The world makes it louder.

  • Sometimes

    Sometimes I wonder about the person I seem to be.

    Is she truly me or someone else entirely?

    Is it real or just a mask?

    And if she's just a mask, then who am I?

    Am I surrounded by lights?

    Or shadows?
