Human By Nature | Poetry Poem by Esther Douek

Temperature rising

Hiding heaviness on this heartless journey

It's easy to buy into the lie that isolates my highway

Between thought and reality



I purpose a toast

To roots

Deep roots

Ingrained in vein

To let love run through her veins

Because pain left a stain of hope

Where flight is the only way to go



Gentle

Fly, don't walk

Sore, don't talk

See, don't look

Depth is the godliness inside

Turning us in to angels and demons

When it's not our job

To play God



Human nature, to nurture, and try to determine the future

To control who we are

Turning into sticks and stone

It breaks all our bones

Bending our better judgment



It's the hardest thing to live in your own skin

To be human and want to live like humans

So, let it go

Let it go

Or we will all turn in to smoke



Yes!

We are all angels in our specialty

Demons by nature

Playing a part in a human body
