A poem about what is ... inside. Pretty self-explanatory. Enjoy.

_Inside_

The soul that's inside   
It floats and flies   
I feel it trapped   
Beneath the surface

The mind that's inside   
Rants and raves   
Yearning to learn   
Wishing the torrent to end

The heart that's inside   
Yearns for its love   
Holes pierce its shell   
Bleeding in rivers

The emotions inside   
Swirl around in mystery   
They ponder and question   
Validity of reality

The memories within   
Stir and strengthen   
Move and weaken   
Defining our cover

The desires within   
We want what we do   
Needing and craving   
Supply for our demands

The qualities within   
Our faults and flaws   
Shown through our actions   
Enlightened by our deeds

The beauty within   
That tenuous grin   
Laughter and joy   
Masking the face

The faith within   
Looks up to hope   
Gives us our courage   
And sometimes, blinds us

The intent within   
Good or maybe bad   
Is our own   
Influenced by all

The blood that's inside   
Keeps us alive   
Flows and runs   
Around and around

What is inside us   
Is what defines us   
Remember yourself   
Pride of what's Inside.
