Only Human Poem by Gary Diamond

(This is actually lyrics to a song I wrote, but it's pretty poetic nonetheless)

I want to tell you
A little tale
About the way that old habits prevail
When you're only human

I used to wait on the early mornings
Used to go to bed at dawn with curtains drawn
I'm only human

I'm not trying to criticise

Like a leopard can't change his spots
I can't pretend to be something I'm not
Only human

Like butterflies in the trees
Like all the birds and all the little bees
Only human

Not trying to change and still fighting it
Not going to heaven or hells darkest pit
I can't hope to contain
My feelings oh so plain

In all my ways I'll never lose my pride
Only human, buried deep inside.

The older we get the wiser we're not
At this life you get just one shot
Only human

Dedicate your life to art
Never finish what you start
Only human

In all my ways I'll never lose my pride
Only human, buried deep inside.
Cocoons only hold their change within
Once you're out you can't do it again
