Agree or disagree, this is written for me. You could be right, and I could be well-wrong. I honestly don't care. This is my philosophy.

There's a spirit within me,

Shouting its plea.

"Let me be kind,

Let me be mean,

Let me be smart,

Let me be stupid,

Let me be."

There's a spirit within me,

Who's as pure as the trees.

Who says "please" and "sorry",

And cleans up after parties.

There's a spirit within me,

Who wears a mask over its face.

Who says the inappropriate,

And sniggers at others.

There's a spirit within me,

Who can write wonderful worlds.

Who aces classes,

And is praised by many.

There's a spirit within me,

Who fails to string together sentences.

Who blubbers when asked to speak,

And often ends up blank.

There's a spirit within me,

And one in you.

They're not quite the same,

But one wouldn't dare disclaim,

They're from different flames.

And that is the game.
