I am trying

 

I am trying to be me

I am trying to let you be

I am not looking for applause

I am working on my flaws

I know I have many a defect

Judge me when you are perfect

 

I am trying to be affable

I am trying harder to be sociable

I am not exactly extrovert

I enjoy being an introvert

I know there is room for improvement

Befriend me when you are in agreement

 

I am trying to maintain balance

I am learning new world parlance

I belong to a time when truths existed

I knew many dinosaurs who subsisted

I no longer follow news and views

Apprise me if you can find me a new muse

 

I am trying to eavesdrop on my mindscape

I am trying to read the frequency of my soundscape

I have limited time and my space is confined

I have finite imagination my dreams I must redesign

I must widen my horizon and take a leap of faith

Correct me if I am singeing this newfound trait

 

I am trying to draw a line which ends at satisfaction

I am trying to juggle delight with clear-cut ambition

I am learning how to let go of superficialities

I am learning how to hold on to integrities

I don’t always succeed I succumb to temptations

Forfend me if I continue with my aberrations

 

I am trying and my intentions are straightforward

I am hopeful and I will not be coward

I have to flourish I have to persist within parameters

I have to garner support sometimes I must break barriers

I am novice on a planet which has lasted millions of years

Allow me to be me without prejudice and fears

Thank you
