I Am Not Alright Jack

Jack, why do you hurt me so?
Untie the reins and let me go
Unlock the shackles that bind
And set me free to find
Myself.
Me, Who is she?
I no longer know
Where did I go?

I'm alright, Jack, is an expression from the navy; it means everything is fine with me (Jack). I do not care a darn about you.
