--Inner Children--

Part of me

Wants to see

The part of me

That hides beneath

The laurel wreath

Inside of me,

But idly

I blink and breath,

And constantly

Feed the beast.

To watch it eat

Makes me heave,

So I avert my eyes

And grind my teeth,

And patiently

Wait to be

Finally

At peace.
