Inside

lost inside of me
not wishing to be found
not lying in the clouds 
or floating on the ground
buoyant in my hopes and dreams 
not wanting to be found
the longer I remain
the more of me I'll know
how long can I stay here?
where else must I go?
all the doing has been done
all the work was no fun
discovering so much of me in me
the lottery, I think I've won
when I return to the world that everyone calls real
I'm not sure what will happen, not certain what I'll feel
I do know most definitely with new eyes I will see
the wonderful amazing, the me inside of me.
