Human

Can’t you see?

that

I am only human

That my skin is

kissed

with scars on my back

That my lips are

chapped

with anguish

That my hair

grows

on all parts of me

like leaves blossoming on trees

That there is so much

more

than what you see

my rolls

my roles

my crooked teeth

my moles

Can’t you see?

that

I am only human

Just like you

fervently flawed

and

deserving

of love

too.
