    Human

    I am human

    I am an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman

    I am everything and I am nothing

    I cannot be content
    no matter the effort
    I wallow in darkness
    and drown in my tears

    My pen is my only escape
    blue or black, bold or italic
    metaphors and similies, rhymes and cliches
    it does not matter
    they bleed all the same

    Judge me too quick
    give me your back
    Hate me in silence
    Fear me in appearance

    Make a mockery of my poems
    criticize my lines
    Label me a freak
    maybe call me sadistic

    Find fault in my words
    condemn my potential
    Shower me with insolence
    and offend my intellect

    But as you read my lexis

    Remember,

    You cannot take my freedom of speech
    you cannot erase all of my pain
    and you cannot change who I am

    I am human

    an artist, a friend, a lover, a woman

    and we bleed all the same
