Cailen's Poem Archive - 15. Chapter 15: What Am I Inside?

Oh tell me! What am I inside?

But a broken heart, and a yearning that has told me from the start

“What am I inside?”

But pieces of my memories and my dreams

What am I inside?

In this broken dream all the pain grows,

Like a torrent flowing, on into my heart it goes

What am I inside? But flesh and bone,

Grief doesn’t seem to end, in the end I’ll know

Tell Me! What am I inside?

But a melody, and a harmony, and it drives into my soul and asks me this

“What am I inside?”

A ray of hope that’s dying inside

Hear Me! What am I inside?

But a lost boy forgotten, and the pride I had is lost, it tells me this

In a broken dream all the pain grows,

And inside our aching simple little hearts it goes

What am I inside?

Anything I want to be! Inside
