Inside of Me

Hello world. The following was written 01/22/2016.

Inside of Me

My mind twists and turns.

My throat fills with an acid burn.

Fear and guilt an emotional blur.

The wrongs I perceive have never occurred.

Yet my child’s mind cannot perceive.

The holy and good inside of me.

The judgments of those who care for me.

Are what I am taught to only perceive.
