Healing and fixing

While carrying a backpack of scars,

A box of pain on his left shoulder,

A bucketful of tears on his right

But all he ever does is look ahead and heal

Only occasionally looking behind, left and right

People say they're only humans

And they say that humans can only take so much

But if they're still carrying on, still moving on, still healing, still fixing

Then does that mean they're not human?

Clockwork creatures, perhaps?

Who take a fall

Take a blow

But still stand up straight

To extend their hands to another fallen soul

In the end, I think

That's what we all are

Broken clockwork creatures fixing other broken clockwork creatures.
