I Wanna Be Like You

I want to write just like you do,
Your words captivate and mystify.
I try to write words like that too,
But always find myself unsatisfied.

I wanna sing the same way as you,
Miss Voice-Like-The-Angels-Of-The-Sky.
I wanna sing just as beautifully as you do,
but I always give up long before I try.

"I envy you,
I really do,
I wanna be
JUST LIKE YOU."

The stories end before they're through,
the notes go sour, the melodies die.
I was so caught up in "I wanna be like you",
That I now find myself asking, "who am I?"
