A SOUL INSIDE ~ POEM BY MONIQUE LUCY WEBERINK

For sure you must have a soul

Somewhere there buried inside

With strong metal welded shut tide

You play your mister perfect role

But things are not as they always seem

Fragile are the walls that you keep up

And if I could peak through the cracks

Its all just compromises into extreme

Why don’t you show your true face now

For once lower the wooden painted mask

I beg you to show me your teardrops

All I get is a lonely sounding sough

I admit when you do I might run scared

Your face forward straight and open wide

With eyes as window holes without the glass

It happened right after you no longer cared

Shadows growing on the walls and floors

The room gets dark and a struggle starts

Its following me and freaking me inside out

Paranoid trying to escape via narrow doors

Personal private sufferings took control

You committed suicide of your inner self

I know noble thoughts are fighting inside

just figure out whats wrong with your soul

I want to run away from you for good

To be the one who ditches you hard

Make you feel the same pain and anger

Being the girl who did what she could

Taken your passion and your freedom restrained

Trying to break your soul free from its cage

Bittersweet deep down up till its solid core

but the key to unlock is all that maintained

I am forced to lie, but do whatever it takes

Shorty said, exactly that and not a bit more

Every wise man should know himself to be a foul

To save you even when it takes till day breaks

Its made from paper so there is nothing to destroy

Only delineate it to get it back to the surface

Writing memories down with different colors of ink

Red curves for our love and black words to deploy

Watching the ink lines getting sucked dry

I just elegantly reclaimed my true soul mate

You are not going to take me down again

If erasing is the only option, I wonder why

Then that is what I will do.
