Only Human Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Self-righteous at times
Ignorant at others
Oblivious to the mind
And how you affect others
I make mistakes
And I admit to them
I overreact and act a fool
I’m only human
Just like you
I’m only human
You have no right to judge
Before you point out my flaws
Please examine yours
No bitterness is hidden
I’m writing this in calm
No reason to get upset
At someone who doesn’t get it
I am not preaching any longer
I am not trying to butt in either
I am simply writing how I feel
No offense is meant from it
Acceptance and tolerance is needed
You are who you are
I would say don’t change
Unless you are pushing everyone away
But I am only human
Just like you
I make mistakes
You do too
I am only human
I claim no powers
I am only human
I’m dying every hour
When I’m dead and gone
My body will return to the earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I’ll die knowing I have given enough
For I am only human
At least for today
Maybe its time you realize
You are the same
