As Human As I Am

I bleed, I feed, I need, I sleep
I poo, I pee, I coo, I see
I cry, I try, I pry, I sigh
I walk, I talk, I sulk, I gawk
I cheat, I breathe, I sweat, I create
I dream, I win, I sin it seems

These and more makes me human
And they are not all pretty
I’ve got monsters, I’ve got friends
Slap me and I might be forced to reply
Bite me and the screams may come calling

Madness can be packaged in normalcy
Difference and similarity can coexist
Dead or alive, we can still be lost
Cowardly, temporary, earthly, human!
