On The Inside

They say it comes from inside. He says it comes from inside. I need it to come from inside. Do you know what it is like in there- down deep where the ocean is dry where the desert is cold and the sun is dark? If it is in there it is anywhere it is everywhere- you just need to open up and out it flows- out from the inside. The liars, the hypocrites, we know what I mean. The fools, the ignorant- we know nothing. We say too much; we say too little. We are foolishly brave; we are cowards. Fear is where it starts. And fear is where it will end if you do not fear. Fear is the beginning. Stop. Like a caged beast prowling in the dark wounded and pacing. Big, angry, afraid. On the inside. On the inside. It is all on the inside. None of the answers and all of the questions. On the inside. On the blood soaked floor the brave ones slip and fall. You will suffer He says. As I have suffered, He says. And so I wait.
I do not wait in vain. His word is true. Time heals nothing. Only God heals anything. Only God heals anything on the inside.
