I Am Human Poem by Maya Hanson

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.
