Human

I’ll laugh at your problems because I’m human,
I’ll think of myself first because I’m human,
I’ll take it all inside because I’m human,
You see an act,
I won’t say what I really mean because I’m human,
So human,
Predator and prey rolled into one,
I go from confidence to insecurity in a flash,
What I can and can’t do confuses me,
I can’t handle it all because I’m human just like you,
Too much to understand,
Too many distractions,
Contradictory information,
Mixed signals,
The horror of life makes me hide inside myself,
I end up just like those I hate,
We all do,
What I was sure of yesterday,
I’m not too sure of today,
What I think now is not what I thought then,
Everything is funny,
Everything can be criticised,
Everything can be destroyed,
I can’t be trusted because I’m human,
We won’t find the answer because there isn’t one,
I’ll change my mind,
I’ll take offence,
I’ll get it all wrong,
I won’t play the game because I’m human.
