Being Human


So many broken relationships
Fragmented scrapped wounded
You look at them
They stare at you
You are awed…flawed…wasted
Insecurity? Your best friend.
Lying low in your bed
You clutch that blanket tight
Hugging the warmth of fur…wool…or simply your own bosom
The mirror suddenly is animated…
You feel a bit lost...a bit cornered
It’s not personal, you assure yourself
But the heart beats fast…faster
You call the one you want to hold near
You talk of things irrelevant…
Perhaps a feeling crosses your mind
What if I am next?
Heart is where the home is
Home is where the heart is?
Your fears won’t ever rest…
Because you are broken by birth…
Striving like the waves to unite with the shore…
So be afraid of voids, be insecure, be possessive
Love madly, laugh loudly… cry intensely …
It is every breath that takes you close to life
…and closer to death…
Because my friend…that’s where you belong!
