The Ramblings of Oceanablue

I'm Only Human

Sometimes I feel the world’s caving in;

And I can’t breath or cry or even understand why

I feel the people close to me try to hurt me

And at every turn I am greeted with ugliness;

Of difference, of color

People keep pushing at me to be perfect

And all I want to say is I’m not

But I can’t find the breath to breathe

So how can I even speak?

I want to tell them I’m only human

Everyone points the faults in me

Never questioning others.

Everyone turns and accuses me

Never asking for the truth.

I want to cry out and tell them my side

But no one ever wants to listen

So I stay silent and feel the world caving in

I can’t breathe nor can I cry out.

I’m only human.

Stop judging me.

Stop comparing me.

I’m only human.
