My Inside Out Friends

My inside out friends

Let me tell you about the days I meet
My inside out friends such a treat.
Usually they mingled inside of my head,
With lots to say now a bit more is said.
I've been topsy-turvy smothered by others,
Wicked wise and protecting mothers.
No calm down or be silent now,
Don't leave off lights somehow.
There's colour in their smiles and tickling little tummies,
There is crude remarks and eating all the yummies.
There is walking long distances slam-dunking balls,
The short answer the questions are tall.
I have inside out friends to me they cannot hide,
It's a bumpy hell of a ride.
My inside friends come out to play,
Just a few but now they'll stay.
My friends are my guidance my every move,
My every rough and every smooth.
My inside out friends have tears in their eyes,
As I sit here they hear my cries.
They pop out and shake me about,
Wake up B it's time to rise they shout.
Go away I reply using a stink eye glance,
Give me a moment a second chance.
Let me get my act together without your helping hand,
Just relaxing Living in my rainbow land.
Oh how quiet things will be in time,
My inside outs are all mine.
Maybe they will clear my skies 
Before I wake,
Give me a hell of a shake.
Single human one brain,
You think i must be insane.
I am many faces to this diamond I must confess,
I wouldn't want them any less.
My inside out roundabout disorganised mind,
I am unsettled but definitely not blind.
I see others inside out 
This is what I am all about.
