Inside-outside Poem

Way deep down inside, a

Treacherous tornado swirls with anger.

Once the storm calms, it rains and takes away anger,

And covers it up with sorrow.

After the pain settles, comes

Out a bright sun,

Rays shine out,

That gush out of me.

But I question when the next tornado will come out again.

But, on the outside I bottle up all my fear and sorrow,

And come out into the courageous and face the world.

I come in the world,

And banish my feelings.

You think I am innocent

It can change.
