The Meaning Of Torn

I can not hide from myself.
I can not keep from my own fears...
I can’t deny what’s in my mind...
I can’t control what forces me to be me to act as I do to be what I am...
What resides in my thoughts what over powers my own better senses…
I am human... I am flawed. I have sinned... I have killed...
I Have done things I will never forgive myself for in the name of survival.
I’ve tried to end it... I’ve tried to be better than what I am...
But I’m human I’m what I live to be...
I try to control what lurks beneath these eyes. What hides beyond this smile...
the Indulgences I succumb to... The flavors I taste... The people I touch...
The way I am... the way I’ve become...
I am more human than human... Yet I am nothing...
I’m more animal than beast... I’m more wicked than life...
I tear apart the souls that stand before me... I consume all that others would lay to waste...
I devour life’s own energy...
What hides within is what isn’t seen throughout…
Carnal are my desires...
Knowledge and application are my sins.
What can hope to ever contain this beast?
I am human...

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
