Confession

Sometimes I borrow a wiser man's words, 
turning his phrase into mine.
They echo with honesty, vibrating truth,
and tell me- can truth be a crime?
Once in a while the lines that I craft
sound hollow and vapid and weak,
It's then that I look to a stronger man's voice-
his tones are the lines that I seek.
