Inside-Out
It feels as though I've been watching my life
through spare eyes
like my mind's worlds apart
and my personality's a disguise
Things I want to say are held back
due to fear of consequences
and though I don't like it
I see right through my own pretenses
Inside Outside
Upside Down
dig through smiling eyes
and you'll discover the frown
Upside wrong side
right side out
I do not care
for what your life is about
I'd like to believe that life isn't fair
or blame it on fate to avoid need for care
but I know I'm a liar, that it's not true
I need to become more see-through
I sometimes feel I am made of plastic
pretending to like who I'm told
it seems no measure is too durastic
when you're only living for gold
Left side right side
wrong side in
we all must stop
before we begin
each side all sides
no side out
we're losing human
of that there's no doubt
(a comment on humanity in general)
