I AM HUMAN

January 18, 2015

I am human.

I dance

when I'm happy,

I cry

when I'm sad.

All I want

is to make sure my choices today

won't rise up and engulf me tomorrow as I drown

and wither away in the cold river of regret.

am small

While I watch the constellations above me

The stars and the scars

Stitched throughout the handmade sea of life.

But though my soul can't fill up a room,

I am bigger than you've ever imagined

Because we are all radiant masterpieces

and while the critics critique

I won't let their words make me

weak.

I may stumble and stutter

And trip over my self

But I will protect my brothers and sisters

In some stupid way I'll help.

Because the most beautiful thing about us is how stupid we become for the ones we

love.

Because

you

and I are human.
