Only Human

Written 10/20/14 when I was really frustrated

I'm such a fool

Always letting people in

One day it'll cause me

To fall in ruin

I give out my heart

I wear it on my sleeve

I sent it as a parting gift

When people go to leave

I'm always being hurt

I'm always being played

And yet I'm always told

I need to go get laid

Why should I give myself

When nothing is deserved

I'm not a toy to toss around

Until someone is unnerved

I'm a person

I have limits

I'm not one's claim

I have a mind

I think for myself

I won't be subject to game

The next time you want to trick me

Or act out on a dare

Just remember my anger

When it decides to flare

I'll wipe you out and destroy you

Burn each tender spot

I'm only human after all

And you've put me through a lot
