Hey all!

Check out this poem emailed to me and written by a teen named Justin--great stuff!

Inside me lives
The wolf, the raven, the fox,
Cleverest animals of them all,
Caged like common zoo animals and
Howling, cawing, barking to be
Let free.

Inside me lives
A flowing, peaceful creek,
Carrying ideas, inspiration, words
To my pen,
Occasionally bended by rocks, branches,
And the litter of common folk.

Inside me lives
An eleven year old Harry Potter,
Treated non-existent by family,
And trying to find his place in
The world.

Inside me lives
An amazing magician,
Making wonders and wowing people
With deception, Illusion, mirrors.
A magician never tells.

Inside me lives
A locked box containing my heart,
To which few have the key
And even fewer know about,
Concealed behind a veil of
Sarcasm, rebellion, and indifference.

Inside me lives
A child, an adult
A killer, a hero
A wiseman and a fool.
Inside me lives....
Me.
And inside me I'll stay.
