Something Inside––poem by Dorothy
Something Inside
Now that I have grown older,
it is time to think about things
that really matter.
Did I ever learn anything
from all those broken hearts?
The seniors in rank who rated
what I did
who were so inept?
The childhood tapes
that just kept on playing
no matter what?
so suddenly?
that have been showered
upon me?
The beautiful people
I know and hold dear?
The mysteries that surrounded
me that I could never unravel?
Something inside has held me
through it all.
It is still here,
leading me on,
even if I still don't know
its face, its name,
or even the destination.
