Inside <br />There’s a little boy <br />A fragile tin soldier toy <br />I know who he is <br />And what he wants to be <br />He is trapped inside <br />And will never leave me <br />He is good and pure <br />Heart of an angel I’m sure <br />Inside <br />He is painless <br />Inside <br />He is stainless <br />But he wants to come out and play <br />Into a world in decay <br />He wants to come out and sing <br />Climb a mountain and be king <br />Outside <br />It’s raining <br />Storm clouds peeking in <br />Thunder and lightning sneaking in <br />Inside <br />He’s protected <br />Inside <br />Cannot be rejected <br />But he wants the ultimate joy <br />To conquer a new Troy <br />He wants to explore a new feeling <br />Bump his head on a new ceiling <br />Inside <br />It’s nice and warm <br />Inside <br />He is far from harm <br />But his nine months are up <br />Where any little hiccup <br />He will be OUTSIDE! !<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inside-33/
