I am an old soul Trapped in a youthful body I am of unsound mind In a world built on sanity My mind yearns for truth In a society of lies I long for shadows In the exposed light I search for love In whirlpools of deception I am a strong body Stitched together with weakness I find comfort In unsettling rains I seek sanctity In the midst of danger I am a failure Hiding behind my successes I am a bundle Of courage and cowardice I am an old soul Trapped in a youthful soul I am human But I am not
