Brandon Michael Bunn Poet Free verse

INSIDE I AM

“Betwixt two thoughts there is a gap

No illusions therein entrap

In the time stretched pause we then see

Ego craving is a mousetrap”

Smile, laugh
Stand and stare
Walk into a world that is unprepared
For a mask of emotions 
And the duality of your soul 
For being yourself makes it hard for others to control 
The ties that bind 
The hands that shake 
Plans that man made disappeared in an earthquake
What’s inside of you will still remain 
And human chains  will fade
If you release your wolves to save the village 
It is you, yourself you have betrayed.
Never give up in dismay
Be brave
What is inside of you, is to help you find your purpose 
Do not be afraid
