I am the best I can be
No one could be me
They might be busy as a bee
Or a chameleon in nature be
But they sure can’t be me
Some are imitators
Some are Xerox
A copy of another
Never what they are meant to be
Little did they know?
That a copy is a copy
Always second rated
Where they could have been better
They never realize
The creativity of their originality
They seem to underestimate
Their unstoppable inner force
They compress upcoming
Into a photocopy machine
Wasting power and resources
Just to create carbon copy
Of innocent originals
But yes in limited proportions
Their exist some habits
Worthy of being encompassed
If it suits you and helps you
In process of being a better you
You were formed a original
Don’t decompose a copy
As everyman is a clean slate
Capable of achieving greatness
And outstanding uniqueness
You are the best you can be.
