A Contradiction

It's just me
Here's what I see
I'm a girl who's trapped
So wild and free
 
Here I am
No glitz or glam
I'm a timid wolf
Just a lonely lamb
 
It's just me
Here's what I'll be
I'm a sunny sky of sorrow
A joyful deep blue sea
 
Here I am
No diagram
I'm a girl who cares too much
But I just don't give a damn
 
It's just me
Here's what I plea
I'm yearning to be captured
Longing just to flee
 
Here I am
No tricks, no scam
I'm a rock in an oyster
Just a pearl in a dam
 
It's just me
Here I am
I'm an opposition of truth
A contradiction
