Changing Sides

I felt the need to blog today, but I didn't have enough time to get started on the whole "project review" thing...so I'm going to just simply share a poem that I wrote instead! It's kind of weird and hard to understand, but I don't normally share some of my hardest writing pieces, so I thought I would:

"Changing Sides"

You're on the outside, looking in.

I'm on the inside, looking out.

Rain thunders down onto you;

Soft light filters down onto me.

You wonder what it's like to be included;

I wonder what it's like to be set free.

We came from the same place,

Yet we stand of different sides.

I want out,

You want in,

But in reality,

I need you and

You need me.

That's all.

You want to feel soft, warm light;

I want to feel thundering rain.

But it's too late now,

The decision's been made.

You're locked out;

I'm locked in.

The door is shut,

Our paths have been chosen;

Nobody's changing sides anymore.

Dark, I know. But do ya like it?

And yes, it has a bigger meaning. It's not really about a person in the rain and a person in a building. Every piece of writing has a meaning, big or small.

The question is, are you smart enough to figure it out?
