"Inside of Me"

inside of me
is a poem unleashed
years in the making
just kept for keeps
under wraps
34 years of living
scraping
and trying to make a change
with these words
of this pen
and the poet
lie within
going the path less traveled
less disturbed
less broken into stanzas
and I
am the puppet
letting these black
red
or blue words
on these white pages
speak for me
and what I stand for
or standing for
and before I fall
I give my all
for this gift
that was given to me
by the Creator
inside of me
until the end.........
