You Are Human
You avoid loneliness but seek solitude
You desire to belong but as uniquely you
You feel one thing and think another,
Psychological and logical often at arms.
You want to learn but not be taught
You value spontaneity but need predictability
You influence others and are susceptible to their whims
You judge—sometimes—but don’t wish to be judged
You need control but know you must let go
You hear mixed messages: The strong shall win. The meek shall inherit the earth.
With all you know, you know so little.
You sit in silence, demanding better communication
You laugh at people’s foibles but certainly not at your own
You complain about those traits in others you would like to change in you
You crave love but sometimes cannot love yourself
You can be kind, so kind and lash out, mean.
You can see beauty and feel ugly.
You know you have the capacity to create and destroy, and this makes you uncomfortable.
You mostly hope. Mostly.
You are HUMAN.
