I Am Human

I am human.

I'm not just some machine,

created to get things done.

I'm more than a robot,

programmed to be precise.

I am human.

Sometimes I stumble over my words.

Some nights I forget to brush my teeth.

Some days I can barely drag myself out of bed.

Sometimes I look at her and think to myself, 

She's perfect why am I not like her?

I am human.

I make mistakes.

I struggle with math.

I don't get perfect grades on everything.

You won't find a 4.0 on my report card;

I don't need one to be proud of myself.

I am human.

I have anger issues.

Some days my anxiety will be too much to handle.

I cry over stupid things.

I've had my heart broken again and again;

But I'll smile it away and ignore the hurt,

Because I am human.

I am human,

Nothing you do or say will change that.

I will continue to fight and grow.

I will change the world,

Just you wait and see.

For I am human.
