Inside Versus Outside Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

We hide inside us
A lot of things
For many purposes...
We can not hide
A lot of things
Inside us
For many purposes...
We have to tell our dearest friends or
Our closest companions
About what's going on
Inside us just
To make them siding with us
When needed and
We do the same with them
When needed...
We have a lot of painful things
Inside us which are
Heavy and ugly...
We can not keep those painful things
Inside us for ever and ever, but
We need our loved-ones
To help us getting out of
Any painful situation anytime...
We are burning within us, so
We have to get any help
From those who care about us...
We might look good from outside, but
In fact we greatly suffer from
Whatwe have inside us...
We have to bridge between
Our inside and our outside
Just to fix our situation wholly or
We will be getting into
Those endless and permanent
Sufferings within us...
Our whole pains and our whole sufferings
Go streaming endlessly with our blood
For ever and ever...
We only suffer from known or unknown
Things within us
For different reasons which
We know or which we don't know...
If our inside is in parallel with
Our outside, then
We will in a big dilemma anytime...
We only need to clear and even to clean
Our inside fully just to bridge safely
Into our outside...
As long as our inside remains alone, then
Our outside will be alone
For ever and ever...
