Inside
Long black hair a sprawling mess
Face showing worry lines of stress
Chin harbouring a craggy beard
Yet there is nothing to be feared
Staring eyes full of fright
Following you scampering into the night
Lips and mouth don’t say a word
Even though there is lots to be heard
Ears that have heard a thousand screams
A mind that has lived a thousand dreams
Worn, weary but wordly wise
Yet everybody walks on by
And for all there is to know
Silence that says please don’t go
For no-one has even tried
To look and find what lies inside
