Outside

there is a need to change

as we sluff off

old bodies, old selves, old cells

and we walk between death and life

Inside

we look outside

at what we want, or maybe…

what others want

Some look inside and live inside

watching the changes there

where death and life

don’t care

that is something completely different

reactions trap us

like mirrors

we don’t want to see

and we can’t stop pondering

our own reflections there

when our insides match our outsides

we smile

at a mirror that smiles back

our power reflects our reflections there

honesty

from every angle

comes from what we have inside

and the truth shines back at us

if we can look at it

So, if your outsides

don’t reflect your insides

take another look.
