I know who I am, but I'm not me.
I have eyes, but I can't see.
I have no feelings, but I have fear.
I have ears, but I can't hear.
I know where I'm going, but I can't tell.
I have a nose, but I can't smell.
I have an appetite, but I can't eat.
I have a voice, but I can't speak.
I don't know what to do, but I'm no fool.
I have a life, but none to rule.
I have to leave, but I can't go.
I have a life, but nothing to show.

Interesting piece. Surprisingly refreshing. Almost sounds like a theme song to a Television show. Maybe like Lizzie McGuire or something like that. Thanks for entering!
