What to think?
I say that I don't care,
But I actually do.
I say I hate you,
But I actually don't.
Dos and don'ts,
Just dancing in my mind,
What to believe?
I just don't know.
A bird flying in the sky.
Is it running towards something?
Or fleeing away from something?
I just don't know.
In my mind,
Two versions of me argue about what to think.
A mind divided in half,
Only one voice,
Only one heart.
The white bird searching for a sanctuary.
While the black bird is running from one.
Which flying creature to follow?
I just don't know.
And if you ask me,
No matter the question,
I'll answer you.
But deep inside,
I just really don't know.
