What Makes Us Human


What makes us human

Some say love

Curiosity

Some may say soul

I say 3 bottles of beer

An engine, spare parts

And a bucket of stupidity

I say

Fierce protectiveness

Territorial tendency’s

And the words “hey watch this”

What makes us human is

The good and the bad

Love and hate

Fear and curiosity

The stupid genius to overcome obstacles

When Told they can’t

They do

What makes us human is the phrase

Watch me

You are one in a million. That means there are 320 of you in the U.S. Find yourself. Create an army. Overthrow the government of a small midwestern town. Hi... I am a spoken word poet and that is the format the majority of my work will be. Some of these are work from the heart and some I did for school. I am a actor, a horseback rider, a sister, a member of the LGBT+ community, and an extreme introvert. I love kids, Netflix, video games, my pets, and I suck at every language I try other than Latin. (weird I know) I'm a Pisces on the Aires cusp. I act a whole lot like it too.
