I've had so many lives
Since I was a child
And I realize
How many times I've died
I'm not that kind of guy
Sometimes I feel shy
I think I can fly
Closer to the sky
No one's telling you how to live your life
But it's a setup until you're fed up
This world is not so kind
People trap your mind
It's so hard to find
Someone to admire
I, I sleep much better at night
I feel closer to the light
Now I'm gonna try
To improve my life
No one's telling you how to live your life
But it's a setup until you're fed up
It's no good when you're misunderstood
But why should I care
What the world thinks of me
Won't let a stranger
Give me a social disease
I am a
Human being.
I try to
Think about others first
But sometimes
I fail.
I am a
Selfish
Human being.
I hold on through the
Darkness that looms-
Now and forever,
I am capable of reaching
For my dreams.
I am a
Dreaming
Human being.
Sometimes
I can’t wait
For things to happen-
I grow restless.
I am an
Impatient
Human being.
I have a heart
Like a fire
All at once, it turns
Different colors.
I am an
Emotional
Human being.
I cannot tell you
How many times I’ve snapped-
I am just
Human and so
I am capable of breaking.
I am a
Breakable
Human being.
I am ready
At daylight
To face anything
Destiny throws at me.
I am a
Strong
Human being.
I lose
Control sometimes and
Give myself to
Worse desires.
I am a
Greedy
Human being.
I have family and
Friends I would
Give anything for
Anytime, anywhere.
I am a
Lovable
Human being.
Sometimes I forget
I am ignorant and
I am gone
When you need me.
I am an
Inconstant
Human being.
I go through life
Uniquely, I’m real, you
Know when you
Look at me.
I am a
Beautiful
Human being.
Nature
Itself
Is not perfect and so
I embrace my imperfections.
Through it all
I am a
Flawed
Human being.
Have these things
Surprised you,
Angered you,
Saddened you,
Shocked you?
They shouldn’t have.
I am just
Human.
Like you.
