I’m only human

I’m only human

Watch me fail

Don’t expect me not to be

A raging beast

When frustration gets too much

After a million straws have been piled on my back

I always think I have to try harder

Conditioned to be nice

And if I called a spade a spade prepared myself to be sidelined

And so if I sidle up to you

Chameleon like

Its only a guise I am wearing

To ward off threats

But the pain of this lately is getting entirely too much

And in the quiet of night or deep inside

As your demands and pain rain down on my soul

I feel myself wanting to roar like a lion

Or scream like an animal in pain

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH

Why are you asking so much of me

Back off

Don’t you see I am only human

I can only stand so much?
