Immanent Yet Transcendent

I'm in a different realm, 
An unseen is at the helm, 
A stranger I am on the inside
Though I may be known on the outside. 

Sometimes I seek to know who I am, 
Even as I try to be calm, 
Within me is a raging sea, 
Sometimes I want to flee. 

The night calls me from my slumber, 
The day brings the untold into my chamber, 
I transcend two worlds, 
I'm pulled by two lords.
