Human.

I am so human.

So inclined to error and missteps.

I am vulnerable in the very beating of my heart.

I love because I must, because that is life to me.

I risk everything in loving.

And I've lost.

But I carry on.

Because I am human.

I am so human.

I am full of half a life yet to be lived and half a life lived in color.

I am in so many ways so full of gratitude.

I am offered so many choices and chances to stagger any ordinary heart.

And I am staggered, because I am human.

I carry on.

And I smile.

I watch the stars.

Because I am human.

I dream. I live. I breath.

Because I am human.
