this something inside me

something inside me

something inside me
tells me that all things are possible
and there’s something inside me
that tells me that it’s not
so i push forward any way
i must at least take my best shot

something inside me
is like that of a child at Christmas
awestruck with expectant wonder
yes there is something inside me
that drives me beyond my mistakes
and all the times i blunder

something inside me
wants to come out
that i may touch the world
i think we all are seeking to be heard
yes something inside me like you
wants to be embraced and loved
which is why i speak this word
about something inside me

something inside me
is beautiful, loving and grande

at times it cowers from the light
but it’s up me to demand
that this something does come out
in this light of this day
that this something inside me
removes it’s doubt
that “i” may find my way

to . . .

this something inside me
