I Need your guidance tonight
Light my path through the dark
Ease my mind in these troubled times
Help decide wrong from right

I know what my heart says,
I know what my mind says,
I feel what my gut says...

Indecisive and unsure - I walk alone
My friends push and pull.
My Family wishes me no ill will,
But none of this helps me think.
None of this allows me to know,
Just what I want from life
Where'd I'd like to be
What I'd like to do,
Who I want to be.

Please help me
   For I cannot decide
PLease help me
   Be my guiding light
Be my saviour
In Troubled Times.

ALLEN TILLER

I was born and raised in the historic South Australian town of Gawler, a large country town north of the city of Adelaide. My parents still reside in the town in the house my Dad built in the 60’s.

I attended local schools, and it was within those schools that my love of poetry and writing was first established.

Currently I work at a local Flooring business as a storeman/delivery driver/water-proofer.

My interests include Poetry, writing, playing guitar, Australian Rules football (Adelaide Crows) and the internet.

My Favourite poet is E.A. Poe, but I also enjoy the writings of Banjo Patterson, Lord Byron, Walt Whitman and Henry Lawson, amongst others.
