Humanness
I am strong

Strong like the hurricane force winds

And weak as a thin layer of ice.

I am tough

Tough like reinforced steel

And fragile as china and crystal.

I am rough

Rough like the coarsest sandpaper

And soft as cotton sheets.

I am cold

Cold like the polar icecaps

And warm as the noonday sun.

I am jagged

Jagged like broken shards of glass

And rounded as the perfect circle.

I am sharp

Sharp like fine pointed needles

And smooth as a newborn baby's skin.

I am human.

I am human

So handle me with toughness

And handle me with care.
