You Are Human
you don your best smile,
and hide your feelings behind a smiley face;
every so often, life feels
like an illusion,
comprised of hopes, heartaches, and fantasies
haunted by a lonely heart;
you're torn between love and lust,
and start to believe you're flawed
the impossible sometimes feels possible;
for in this imperfect world
reality appears like a fake facade
that's cracked and broken,
and easily washed away by trickling tears
put aside your mask
and show a skeptical world you have feelings;
that you're not a doll, a robot, or a toy
and if you feel like crying
do not be ashamed,
for you are human;
it's in our nature to cry,
that's what separates us from the animals
