From the Inside

From The Inside
Written by: D. Collins 10/7/14

Our mass and matter come from the inside-out.
The only thing we have are things we were taught.
That is what makes us the human beings we are.
Different from any other creature, by a country yard.

Glow and confidence start with the inner-soul.
What comes from that, is what the world will know.
The kind of humans we are will truly be exposed.
Whether good or bad, it certainly will explode.

We could be straight forward, or have a touch of swag.
But, each individual human comes from a different past.
So, who we really are comes from deep within our guts.
It was Granny teaching us when we were growing up.

Each morsel of teaching we should’ve sucked up.
It should’ve made us learn, it ain’t all about us.
From the inside-out is where we get our glow.
But, we have a problem in letting the whole, world know.
