Image for the poem Human

Human

damaged.

my heart, my mind, my soul.

tired.

sleep seems like too farfetched a goal.

lonely.

pieces missing from me that keep me from being whole.

breaking.

the obstacles they throw at me have finally taken their toll.



I’m only human

YOU should know

I’ll never be perfect

so let it go

I make mistakes

I let you down

I make you mad

I make you frown

I’m only human

just a girl

crashing and burning

my way through this world

I fall down

make a bad mistake

but that shouldn’t be

all it takes

for you to stop believing

in me…



I’m only human

can’t you see?

I’m only human

that’s all I’ll ever be

I’m only human

I’m only human

and all I need

is for you to love me…

for me…
