Grandpa's Inner Self Written through her grandfather's eyes I've been roaming and combing the streets so confused I need to find my inner self I'm messing around and drinking now I need to find my inner self I'm kicked out the house and mentally poisoned as a mouse I need to find my inner self I can't see my kids and won't make the effort to do it I need to find my inner self I don't know the meaning of God and won't try to until I find my inner self I'm half-way dead and it is still not here yet Why can't I find my inner self?                                   -- Shakira Woods Jackson, age 12 ½                    (daughter of CID Supervisor Terrell Jackson)
