On The Inside Poem by Tiffany Baldwin

My mind drifts deeper into a place distant and safe,

I've been through so much emotionally lately I feel like my soul is starting to chafe.

I want to stop the world from turning, make the feelings and noise stop,

Imagine a moment which is care free, where I am running in between the rain drops.

This life has had challenges in so many ways,

Every familiar road is quickly twisting into a confusing unsolved maze.

I get lost in my feelings, my direction, my emotions,

The solution is unclear due to so many notions.

I wish I could hide away and stay in my safe little place,

And feel the life of contentment, that god gave me, its called Grace.

I know my own choices have brought me to my state of confusion,

I tend to make certain choices based on my own created optical illusions.

It's time I stop living in my imaginary world,

Where its only reality and not all mixed up and swirled.

I will wake up and fight to get my life goals on the right track,

Somehow discover my flaws and replace them with the common sense that I lack.

This is why I love the quite place inside my head that I hide,

I can separate all the thoughts in my mind that I've created that seem to always collide.
