I Have the World Inside

Fool I was to chase what’s outside,

Too timid to understand my gaze is not that wide.

All that I have within shall hide

unless something is there for me to confide.

.

No one but I was there to keep me confined;

I could not even decipher what I should try to find.

The void inside was there to remind

That there’s allot to be defined.

.

Hard it was to understand even if something inside tried to guide,

I was so choked with the outer fabricated lies to glide

More towards what propelled me to stay more tied

Unless I realised that inner strength has everything to provide.

.

The sequestered joy was seen when I paid significance to what is in my mind.

Now I know I am embodied with light to every dark intertwined;

However, Hard it was to find

That seeking answers inside is way more kind.

.

I am not perplexed anymore as I know the norm to abide

That introspection is all that I had to decide.

And now I am no longer deprived

Of any solution with the realisation that I have the world inside.
