Inside my outside

It's okay to rebel

 

Inside my outside
 
I was distracted by the crowd,
disoriented, their thoughts were so very loud, so I came inside.
 
They wanted me to be bold,
to wear their badge, inside their mold,
so I kneeled down in a place inside my inside.
 
Following the order of their rule,
surely would have made me their fool,
and I released their demons from me,
into the outside.
 
Now they have what they can see,
it makes them think that they have me,
and they think that they know,
from the love that I willingly show.
 
But they may never ever be,
what it is they cannot see,
a divine light that dwells in me,
on the inside..

But they may never ever be,
what it is they cannot see,
And that says it all
God bless,

eventually we learn "they" is really the reflection of the inner self. as inner light dwells and grows, love expands into the outside view as well...it's a great tool to measure how much light we are :)
