A cell inside my body,
A man inside my house,
A house inside my country,
A country inside my world.
A world inside my soul.
My soul is a reflection of myself,
Shining in a mirror,
Caught in my eyes.
A pearl inside an oyster,
A diamond in the rough.
A baby in the womb,
A body in a tomb.
I am my own company,
Together, alone.
I am an alien nation.
Empowered,
Or a coward?
