I am human

A sculpture in Miraflores, Lima Peru

I am powerful, too powerful

gentle, but not gentle enough

I am brave, too brave

peaceful, but not peaceful enough

I am brilliant, too brilliant

humble, but not humble enough

I am certain, too certain

doubtful, but not doubtful enough

I am human, too human

wild, but not wild enough

This poem started writing itself in February and today it was ready to be ready. The inhumanity that is rampant in our world today is making me question what being human means.
