In My Mind, Outside My Mind
December 5, 2010
In my mind I'm running miles.
In my mind I'm learning the tango.
In my mind I'm picking flowers.
In my mind I'm sweet and gorgeous.
In my mind I'm singing loud.
In my mind I'm sketching brilliantly.
In my mind I'm riding horses.
In my mind I'm just enchanting.
In my mind I'm catching dragon.
In my mind I'm watching sunsets.
In my mind I'm laughing brightly.
In my mind I'm swaying slowly.
But here's the catch, the little twist.
That's in my mind, but that's not real.
"Real" is sitting in class, simple and plain.
Simple brown hair, plain brown eyes.
Just a simple plain girl outside my mind.
