Two Inside.

how could this be
     simple words written by me
             some people who read call it poetry,
how is this so,
     I write of things I say I know,
              if any one knew I'd lie and say no,
words in my hands 
     words because I can,
              words I hide for I fill no one will understand
from the lows to the highs,
       these are words that fly;
            as I laugh and wish I could cry
two people struggling with in
       as I write I fill it like a cool wind
               then back to the other again
why is it this way
       humbled by life as I pray
               no one knows the words I write I can not say.
so to you who seen what I hide
        this is how I get by
              words letters and notes...that's why.
