Human Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

So I guess this makes me
A little more human than I wanted to be,
To let someone hold on and wish for you;
This is something I never thought I'd have to do.
Never been in this position
To make someone crawl into this disposition-
Never thought anyone would hold to me like a rope,
Like I was their very last hope.
I never thought this would be it,
Because this makes me a little more human than I would like to admit.
Breaking someone is just as hard as letting yourself shake,
Breaking them could ultimately be their make;
The brand on their soul,
Damaging them as a whole -
Never thought I would meet someone just like me
So I could see how simple breaking can actually be.
Victims and perpetrators
The perspective is skewed, I need some demonstrators
This is something I can't go about to start.
Because in being a victim, I never had to learn the other part;
I'm a single-plane character as you could say,
I never had to step into the Hurter's shoes and flip it the other way.
I wish I was a little less human than I was made to be,
Because it would make it less painful for both parties if I could flee.
But, I'm a little more human than I admit to be
And that's something that I'll eventually have to see.
