I Am Human

Written By: Aimee Suzanne 

I know I am human, I live and I breathe,   

Through moments of joy and shadows of doubt,   

Unraveling thoughts like the patterns of leaves.   

I eat and I drink, I consume and I weave   

The fabric of life in a world full of clout,   

I know I am human, I live and I breathe.   

My heart with its whispers, my mind’s quiet plea,   

Emotions that dance like the flicker of flame,   

Unusual rhythms, in which I believe.   

For feelings are tangled, a web to perceive,   

Each thought is a thread, yet they never shout,   

I know I am human, I live and I breathe.   

I cherish my quirks, in them I find ease,   

The strange and the weird are what I claim fame,   

A melody sung in a voice none can see.   

I walk on a path that is just mine to cleave,   

In the mirror I glimpse a reflection devout,   

I know I am human, I live and I breathe,   

Not like you, not like others, my heart’s a reprieve,   

In awkward alignment with all that’s about,   

I know I am human, I live and I breathe,   

But I embrace what is mine, the wonder I mount.
