Double Minded I doubt that my insides reflect my outsides Outside, I want to trust and love you inside an eerie feeling brews. Outside I smile and carry on inside my feelings don't have words attached just signals of how you make me feel apprehensive and rushed. Thoughts speaking in riddles reminding my mind of your unkindly acts you treat me as a pigeon. My outside can no longer stretch to hide The strain of pain I feel inside. How do I look at you And not feel disdain. Sad to know my kindness somehow appeared as weak. You don't acknowledge what I speak. Inside myself, I get caught up Outside myself, I want to show. What my insides, really know.
