Inscrutable

Ever-turning

Decisions

vital..

Fall with style

and stay the fears

Or pile 'em up higher..

What binds a human?

The people encountered.

Chances missed --

destiny quenched into bloom

or perished --

Some things weigh on us

in ways a backpack don't

Infinite potential..

To become a saint

or fallen wight

A soul hurt and bleeding

or radiant with light

I am human.

being human is:

being okay with

getting hurt.

having the guts to

jump into love

unafraid of the downfall.

becoming more known

to new things and

inventing even newer ones.

improving society

for those who are

soon to come.

Endure

Let me tell you how

when all cards are down

and we realize now

that the hand we’ve shown

is one that’s losing.

And the eyes glaring

around the table as fumblings

we try to look uncaring

as our world is slowly crumbling.

And the chips that we

worked and slaved for just

slide on over there to

fingers groping in their lust.

And the things we built

our lives upon with strained

mediation just suddenly wilt

and our faces are pained.

There went the house

lost to the storm.

There went the child

to hands meaning harm.

There went the partner

whose love lost its charm.

It is in these moments –

these places where our hope fades –

when all seems turned to torment –

we have something held in spades.

As humans, we are not defined by

what breaks us.

We are defined by the hope

that allows us to endure.

Poorly fitted

Crooked smiles fall over alert sly eyes. Sliding over faces, drinking in the flow of lines that compose movement. Body language. How to be human. Animal teeth and eyes, ears pricked muscles tense. Always hiding fur.

To Be Human..

As a human, you feel. Our entire existence is revolved around feeling SOMETHING. Emotions drive us and motivate us to do everything. Hatred, love, greed, empathy, selfishness, forgiveness, spite, hope, each one is an emotion that humans feel and each one have been at the root of humanity's actions throughout history.

To put it simply... Being human is to feel.

A Human

A human experiences, life, death and suffering

Many people don't know the differences between us, but a true human knows how to feel the need to help the people and the differences

Do not follow the path of the worst repeating history and creating a devastating future

I'm a true human with FREEDOM!
