SELF

I am . . . 

always striving

always moving

always reinventing myself

always struggling to be individual, struggling to be mentionable

always deriving myself from the past

always looking ahead, to what the future might hold

always trying to make a difference with my words

always inspiring others with my actions the best I can 

always making progress

always guiding people

always learning, learning, learning

always writing, writing, writing

always singing, singing, singing

always mingling. mingling, mingling

always connecting with others

always trying my best

always seeking to differentiate myself from the rest

always thinking rationally

always creating bonds with my peers

always trying to belong to something

always looking for that certain someone

always trying to solve those conundrums

always going out with a bang

always helping those who need it

always sharing, sharing, sharing

never daring, daring, daring,

never shy or bashful

never wry or boastful

never too emotive or too apathetic

never having friends be too inclusive

never being too elusive

never taking risks 

never taking leaps of faith

never too creative

never too belated

never waiting for my wounds to mend

never knowing how to END..
