Inside Poem by Elif Kocabas

There's something buried deep inside us
We try to find it, yet never haunt
We always run, and never hide
Maybe someday, we'll fly...

It cries the beauty of the sky
Like a flower about to bud
It is the secrets never have come out
It is was
And it is are
It is the time
That we've never got the courage to call out
It is us
And it is them
Yet we still don't know
If it's safe to blend
Because we are afraid
Of safety himself
We have paid
And now afraid to take
Wondering if it's a mistake
If the soul of human
Was a mistake
Because we are raised
Being told we're a sin, and it is innate
Now we're scared to blaze
And flame
We are scared to reach to depth
Because we are scared of highness
One day
We'll come to a day
Where inside is not a cage
To hide,
To cover,
And to be ashamed

For now we are busy about the looks
Let us be busy, if it's gonna do any good
When the time arrives, we'll find out
That the real, is hiding inside
