 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

ALWAYS TRYING



Trying to be as if another
Is always the wrong thing to do
Trying to act like another
Will never have you true
Trying to love like another
Love will never be complete
Trying always to please another
Will run your soul off it's feet
Trying to write like another
Will never sound correct
Trying to be anothers shadow
Will leave you empty I suspect
Trying to do anything that is not you
Will never win upon the day
Only ever being yourself
Will ever in life pay.
