Because I am Human

Because I am Human

A Poem by maya_online
"

I lie, because I am Human.

"
I am Human.
There is no being higher than
myself and if there is
that being must be a God.

I am Human.
Every day is a battle between
who is right.
Every day is a
war if you 
are wrong.

I am Human. 
I hate everything about myself
so I simply hate everything,
because it's easier
than admitting
that death could be mercy.
So I am Human.

I want everything and nothing all
at the same time
and the moment another
says I'm being
unfair
they are simply
wrong because
I am Human.

Am I Human?
Are we to be reborn
into this cruel world
filled with 
things that are just
like us?
If so, I would not
like to be reborn.
I'd like my soul
to stop right there, 
and to view
what it use
to be from far
away, and I'd like
to simply be
dead.

This was created to like extend a shorter poem I did, let me know which is better.


People are condescending.
Beings who believe they are higher than anyone else.
And once they began fighting amongst themselves.
They needed something to believe in to feel better.
They lie.
They cheat.
They steal.
Every day is a battle between who is right.
Every day is a war when you are wrong.
If death is to give mercy.
Though we do not deserve it.
I would not like to be reborn.
I would like to simply be dead.

I like that this poem explores what the human experience can be like. It can be very confusing to have so many emotions, never being truly satisfied. That is such a human experience because having consiousness along with survival instinct intertwined can get us into many moral conundums. I like to think about this concept, as scary as it can be at times. I also like how it points out how unreliable humans can be. We can think we are right about many of things, but at the end of the day we are human, prone to mistake.

as a buddhist i have so much to say about this poem. but in short, everything you say is true according to the dharma. being born human is a precious gift but it also really sucks. attaining liberation is the highest goal. and i hope you attain it in this lifetime.
