I’m happy, but I cry. I’m honest, but I lie. I feel drunk, but I’m sober. I’m lost, but I’m hopeful. I’m sad, but I’m laughing. I’m here, but I’m really gone. I’m modest, yet I’m vain. I’m crazy, but I’m sane. I’m very alive, but have never felt so dead. I’m soft as silk, but hard as metal. I’m unique, but just the same. I’m really cool, but very lame. I can see, but I’m blind. I’m bad, but I’m good. I’m gaining, I’m losing. I’m breaking, I’m fixing. I’m construction, I’m destruction. I’m sick, but I’m pretty.
