I am a human being.
I question the unexplainable, even though I know there are no answers.
I hear things, then repeat them, turning it into gossip.
I see pain all around me, but can't help, even though I wish I could.
I want everything, but need little.
I am a human being.
I occassionally pretend to be something that I'm not, just to fit in or feel accepted.
I feel good about myself when I hurt others, because it makes me feel superior.
I touch people's hearts, in both good and bad ways.
I worry about what I can't affect, even if I know I can't.
I cry when I'm sad or hurt.
I am a human being.
I undestand that everyone makes mistakes, but still worry about making them.
I say I am sorry, but don't always mean it.
I dream of my future and a better place.
I try to be perfect, but know that nobody is.
I hope one day I will have a family.
I am a human being.
I am a human being because I was born that way.
I cannot change that, no matter how hard I try.
So I try to deal with it and be the best human I can and present a good example to teach the generations that will come after us in this world.
I am a human being.

Dignity.

False pretense?
I fall under your spell.
Trying to find my place in this world
of happiness and chaos.
I Understand Now
My Uncle Charlie use to scare me when I was young.
He had such a deep voice, where did it come from?
