Inside Our World
Location
Life insists too much upon us
to take a second glance;
a second look.
We go through shutting everything out
and never realize what we could have;
what other people took.
We live in a world where nothing hurts
because we shun our pain
In return we gain nothing;
we reap nothing,
and do nothing to recover from the strain.
We make ourselves up as we go along
every sentence, every belief;
every word.
We never stop to think
someday we might be heard.
Our contradiction is within ourselves
and exists only there.
We have nothing to give their world,
nothing to care for;
nothing to share.
