Human

I’m only human
Flesh, bone, blood
Dressed in skin
Bathed in flood
Flaky like pie
Easy as breathing
Lost in thought
Conscious of all
Conscious of nothing
Trusting and weak
Delicately strong
Forgetful in pain
As guilty as sin
But lovingly wrapped
In complications
And contradictions
Married to dreams
Hopeful
Caring
Wanting more
Reaching out
In solidarity
Because

I’m only human.
