In the Inner World of Me

Tal 11/2/2021

I am a man of many feelings. I can be happy, I can be sad, I can be silly and I can be bad.

I understand the need to rhyme but it doesn’t always happen.

I look at the words and they keep jumping.

I feel it is nice to quietly be in my world

It feels so peaceful and quiet to my pores.

It goes like that the music play

I feel that I can be amazed.

It is the good to be hearing But the fact is I am grateful.

I am the silent guy

That want to be the willful.

I am done it is time to go

Goodbye my friends, I will be back.

  Think it’s all gone

I end my thoughts with swans

I go really mad

I could go eat good hams

Ok I’ll hope I see rams

I’ll find my mind new

My mind is in a brew

Is it if the time anew

I never time to say adieu

It’s halloween so all I got to say is boo
