Inside Out

Inside Out

I am on the outside
looking in
and do not like
what I see
You can be quite
a bitch I notice
Are you for real
or are you just me?
 
What is it with you
and this attitude?
Are you wishing
to self-destruct?
Get out of
your own way
Or do you just
want to obstruct?
 
Stand in my shoes
for a while
and get to know
how it can feel
You’re a piece 
of work
Leaving scars 
that may never heal

Bjorn is hosting at D'Verse Poets tonight
and he has prompted us to change our
perspective in writing our poetry.  I chose
to get outside of myself and look back at
me from a different perspective.

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine
