Let me be
Let me be ------
like myself .
Keep your sermons locked
and those 'quotable quotes'
Let me be ----
like myself.
or , as my Soul guides .
If I slip back , -shall cover it
in time
if I tumble , -----shall rise.
No! I do no't want to be
a zerox copy of anyone .
Better, stand aside
or wait ----and
let me be like myself
or, as my Soul decides .
