A Child Within

A CHILD WITHIN

What you see in me
Is absolutely what I am.
In me; there's a man yet a child
An outer-man; I am, but
a child within.

Seeing a little demon 
Yeah, I'm full of images
Somewhat blury-    and 
A bigger jack you might think of me
Both are adjectives yet nouns
you've got a perfect illusions so.

In me; there are voices 
Cruel and balmy 
They sometimes don't 
portray me but
They are me and
 I'm them.
