#1 of Personal Poetry

I am human  
days lived count easier than the mistakes I've made  
Dragging my shoes through my escapade

A wanderer  
With no destination in sight  
I lift up my face but drop my eyes  
For the skies hold nothing for someone like me

wannabe  
a stranger keeping your pace  
eagerly talking and taking your praise  
only to hide behind dresses of lace

injured  
scars that you cannot see  
I'm riddled with cuts, jabs and open wounds as big as the sea  
heart held together with nothing but string  
skin concealing  
always healing  
yet they remain

Yet I am no victim

I am human  
living the day by the day  
hoping, wondering of the end of the age  
wishing for nothing but an open cage

I am human  
yearning for warmth and touch  
taking always all too much  
desperate to be wanted, loved.

I am human...
