Array ( [sid] => 159391 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Inside-Out or Outside-In [time] => 2010-04-30 14:01:30 [hometext] => I read a poem a few minuets ago and it reminded me of something I wrote a while back ....how do people really look at you...Inside-Out or Outside-In [bodytext] => Sometimes I wish I were Outside-In then I could really see
I would see what others do and see what's truly me
Cause if i could go Inside-Out and then go back again
Would I like the view as others do ....... or then go Outside-In?
What side would I really like? Which would I like to be?
The one who shows what's in my heart, for that is really me.

The world would rather Outside-Out than Inside-out to be
For what's inside they'd rather hide, what is outside to see
If they would take a little time, look Inside-Out of me
They would find a precious prize that outside can't be seen
Be it Inside-Out or Outside-In it's all the same you see
What difference does it make to some ........ How they are judging me?

A really great poem. I enjoyed reading this a lot. The message is clear and very true. Wonderful job.

An interesting take on a person's desire to be understood etc. Also a good example of how we view ourselves as opposed to how others view us. Nice work here.

See what's truly me.... our constant longing for acceptance,perhaps while we are ignoring our essential need for self acceptance, great way of looking at this well written
