My Own World

I seem to be a free spirit.
Inside of me, I'm in chains.
I seem to reach for the sky.
Inside of me I dig beneath the ground.
I seem to be a soft green meadow.
Inside of me I'm a wild fire.
I seem to be a fluffy cloud.
Inside of me I'm a knife.

I seem to be fine.
Inside of me I hurt.
I seem not to be bothered.
Inside of me I'm irritated.
I seem to be deaf.
Inside of me I'm not paying attention.
I seem to try.
Inside of me I fail.
