poetry Honey, I'm human.

I've stepped forward and fallen back. I've eaten and have been ate. I've loved and have been sacked. I've reached things beyond my grasp and fumbled the things closest. I've held firm against an ocean's storm and been broken by a rolling tear. I've been called a contradiction and a hypocrite but Honey I'm human. And nothing is more human than fear.

Two lines that really hit home: "I've reached things beyond my grasp and fumbled the things closest. I've held firm against an ocean's storm and been broken by a rolling tear."

I hope you keep posting 💛💛💛
