By Myself
When I am by myself
And I close my eyes
I am a bird; gliding over the city lights
I am one thousand words; painted on a canvas
I am in my own world where I whirl and twirl
I am a cloud of fluffy pink candy floss
I am a graceful mermaid in the sparkling water
I am a skyscraper; lights beaming
I am a flower in bloom; full of life
I am whatever I want to be
And anything I care to be
And when I open my eyes
What I care to be
Is me
