On the Inside Poem

Title: Join Me on the Inside 

By: Bruce Hackmann 

I’m standing alone on a January night

The freezing winds blow across the face

I feel my life frozen in one place

While, all I can think 

When will the winds of change come 

I’m due for change

The world needs to change

While I stand alone outside on this January night

I fight the elements of

Loneliness

Emptiness 

And a perpetual feel of heart ache

When will the winds of change come

It's me against the world and I search for that will to survive 

I need to go inside

But, I go inside just to shut the door

The elements followed me inside 

Loneliness 

Emptiness 

And a perpetual feel of heart ache 

As I stand alone 

Inside

Frozen 

On this January night

I feel the winds of change blowing on the inside 

Then I realize it’s not the world that needs to change

I feel that dramatic wind of change blowing on the inside

It’s telling me 

I need to ride the wind of change that's within me

Then I’ll see the world change

How I see the world is how I see myself

How I see myself is how I am going to see my world

Funny 

I’m standing alone 

When will someone come join me on the inside
