Inward Cracks

if you want to change
what you're all about
it's best you start
from the inside out

where the cracks aren't
so easily seen
you most often have 
the greatest need

as you work on it
with trowel in hand
a lifetime spent
with filling in

word to the wise
take this advice
start with the cracks
on the inside
