Being human can suck, but it can also be kinda amazing. We are all capable of falling on our faces and making mistakes. But we're also capable of finding incredible joy in the world around us and in people around us. Some experience more hardship in their lives than can ever be comprehended and some brush trauma under the rug without a second thought. The truth is I don't know what it's like to be you, but I know that we are alike in one way. We are human. And as much as it can suck, it's a little better that we aren't alone. So this is a compilation of short poems and tangent thoughts about what it's like to be human for me. These are things I've realized and things I've learned. As well as some hard experiences I've had. Let's be human together. Not really sure what I'm doing. But I'm posting this on the off chance that these will resonate with someone. I've written these at times where I felt lost or I felt like I had too many thoughts going on that I felt paralyzed from just how much was going on in my brain. Writing short poems became a way for me to focus my thoughts and gain clarity. It helped me realize certain aspects about myself and revealed a lot of hard truths that have helped me grow as a person. I promise I'm not an expert or anything, but I hope these poems can help someone else gain clarity just like they helped me :)
