Outside Myself

Outside Myself

A Poem by Amanda Mae MacInnis

I can dip my foot in the pool, but I can't go for a swim
I can leave a note in advance, but I can't leave on a whim
I'm a prisoner inside myself, I can't venture out too far
I can sit in the passenger seat, but I can't drive the car
I have no enemies, yet I feel the urge to fight
I need to get outside myself, I need to do what's right
Cause I can see life passing by, through windows we call eyes
I need to get outside myself, before my soul it dies.
