INSIDE OUT


Does your inside match outside ?
Does your outside match your in ?
Do the kind deeds you envision 
stay confined within your skin ?

Your thought and your life's actions---
are they close... or far apart ?
Is the way in which you live your life
what you believe deep in your heart ?

Are you the same person on the inside
people meet on the out,
or do the two clash differ
leaving your conscience full of doubt ?

Are you a different person 
than the person people see ?
Are you a different person 
than the one you'd like to be ?

Would they not see a difference,
or would they grieve in sorrow,
if your inside today
became your outside tomorrow ?
