I AM HUMAN

A poem capturing the moments of ones thoughts and struggles.

Do they all expect me to be perfect?
Do they expect me to be that one person to take their s**t and smile.
I have feelings,
I have emotions,
I 
Have
An
Opinion.
Why does the world hate me for that?
I am tired,
I am weak, 
I am  . . .
Human. 
Yesterday I was sad
Tomorrow I'll be happy
but today  . . . I am hurt.
"Why," is what they say. 
"you have no chance," is what they scream.
I take them all out of my life, 
Do I not have the right to ignore the bad?
If you were able to take the bad out of your life would you not do just that?
I am tired,
I am weak, 
I AM HUMAN.
No one will be able to change that.
I will disagree,
I will fight,
I will cry,
I will succeed,
because . . .  
I AM HUMAN.
I can't stop you from hating me.
I can't stop you from loving me.
I can't stop you from envying me. 
But I can stop you from harming me,
I can stop you from destroying my success,
I can stop you from controlling me,
Because 
I AM HUMAN 
I AM HUMAN
I AM HUMAN
I AM HUMAN 
And there is nothing - NOTHING! That you can do about it -
Because . . .
you're only human. 

Author's Note

I hope you enjoy it, I tried very had to lean away from the stereotypical depression routine since I don't know much about that, but again, hope you enjoy it. :)

"Why," is what they say.
"you have no chance," is what they scream" - I think the ounctuation here need to be revised to express the emotion better.

Overall an excellent poem I thouroughly enjoyed thanks for sharing well done - ATC

An effective and relatable work. ^_^
And your author's note made me giggle...its true its so overused in poetry "oh poor me" and I noticed how this one differed because of its power. The style in which you wrote it is very direct, showing its purpose.

I agree with your thoughts and the objective of the poem. We are all flesh and blood. Can live or die. Nice flow of thoughts leading to a very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry
