I Am Only Human

by Dexsta Ray

I make mistakes  The same as the next  I spend the quiet time contemplating regrets  I have a lot to learn  I stay under stress  At times I'm optimistic  Other days I'm depressed  I need a helping hand  Pride is a beast  Still no better than a homeless guy on the streets  I'm not a perfect person  I didn't have it all  And I was cool with writing but not in basketball  Feeling unaccepted  I didn't have applause  You haven't felt a pain if they hadn't laughed at yall  My mother's really sick  So many emotions...  Some are unaware of the load you are holding  Instead of finding fault  Why not come to console me?  The selfishness and hate is what's killing me slowly  And it's true  I can't judge because I'm human too  If I am a sinner  Why am I accusing you?

It's not about me. It's not about you. It's all about God. Learning to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Traveling is a passion of mine. Still learning to be that change. Consider me a work in progress.

That's good, I don't think anything is wrong with admitting we're not perfect. Thanks for the review!
