I like yours much better than mine.

Deep Inside

Deep inside
where no one sees

there lives a person
you don't like

who thinks some thoughts
that you don't know

and feels some things
that she can't show.

You realize she's hiding there
and strive to understand her,

You'd like to let her come outside
but find you can't command her.

You're the house that she calls home
You're the judge and jury too

You're the one that she rejects
You disapprove of you.

(in my younger years, I wrote a lot of black poetry!)
