Never Been

I have never been practical.

Never been much for seeing outside the box.

I have always had my head in the clouds.

Always drifting off.

I have never been the most rational

Never been the most organized

Never been much for being wrong

And was never good at losing.

I have always been one to do first

And think later.

Push for what I want but never thinking...

Never fully thinking through the consequences.

I have never been a good listener

But always tried to be the best friend...

Who knew they went hand in hand?

I have always felt, thought, spoke and acted...

I never thought it all through like I should.

I have never pretended I loved

I have never trusted in full

I haven't always told the truth

And I have expected the worst 

Before the good. 

I have always been some things

And never been many,

But I have always been me.
