Only Human Poem by Rubaba Mmahajia Rahma Sabtiu

I want to grow this height
And mould this mind
I want to curb this pain
And feel this peace
I want to cry these tears
And smile this laughter
I want to speak these words
And mute this silence
I want to shout this anger
And jump this joy
I want to trek this travel
And sit this rest
I want to live this life
And die this death
I want to tell this story
And live this glory
Because I am
I am only human
