A Poem
Inside of me
I am
Outside of me
And beside myselfLike tables turned
In a familiar room
I bash myself
And bruised
Search for something I knowI hope I recognise it.

A better title (Score:1)
I like it. How old is Heather?
"A Poem" is a crummy title, though; in most good poetry, the title sets the mood for what is to follow. Now, of course, I can't pretend to know what was in her mind, but some ideas come to mind:
The Quest
Inside a Klein bottle
Familiarity
Return of the labyrinth
Encourage her to come up with a good title. It's harder than it first appears. ;-)
