Outside of me, I look different, <br />yet in a sense I am the same. <br />Inside me I am confused, <br />and full of shame. <br />Outside of me, I am fearless, <br />bold and Conquering, <br />Inside of me, I am lost, <br />and steady wandering. <br />Outside of me, I attack those, <br />that try to deceive me. <br />Inside of me, I want love, <br />peace and harmony. <br />Outside of me, nothing matters, but <br />Inside of me, <br />My heart often shatters. <br />Outside of me, I am searching for something. but <br />Inside of me, I already possess it.<br /><br />Lydia J.
