I Can'T Be You! Poem by Adeola Babalola

If I try to,
I can't be the fire.
Very good and destructive in anger
but can be tamed
like a lion.

I can't be you.
If I try,
then I can't be the water.
Very important and destructive as well.
A loose beast that can't be tamed.

I can't be you
because I can't be the glacier.
That can't be help from melting under the torment of the sun.

I can't be the harricane
the tonedo or the snow.
This is why I can't be you.
And must learn to remain myself.
