What do you think this poem is about?

Sometimes

Sometime I'm quiet
Sometimes I'm bold
Sometimes I feel young
Sometimes I feel old

Somtimes I do the opposite
Sometimes do what's told
Sometimes I buckle
But rarely do I ever fold

Somtimes I'm great
Somtimes I'm small
But lately I'm humble
If I'm anything at all

Sometimes I worry
Sometimes joke, jokes that are wry
Sometimes, often, I ask 'why? '
Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I wander
Sometimes I'm lost
Sometimes I feel the bitter lonliness
Of the cold winter frost

Sometimes I tremble
Sometimes I burn
Sometimes I stumble
Sometimes I yearn

Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I feel it's getting late
Sometimes I surmise
I must learn to rely on fate

    Hi! I am writing a song for my very amateur band and i came on this website looking for inspiration. I couldnt help but notice how beautiful your poem is and i was wondering if i could use the line:
    Somtimes I'm great
    Somtimes I'm small
    But lately I'm humble
    If I'm anything at all
    It really honestly just spoke to me. Please email me at r_grach@yahoo.com and let me know! (: And of course i would give credit to you at the end, but honestly its not like we're going to be super big or anything anyway. We are just a bunch of teenagers playing around with a dream. Thanks so much and please let me know ASAP(:
