i'm only human

I have been down,
I have been up,
journeying this rollercoaster of life.

sometimes I feel like giving up,
but always my conscience tells me,
"Go on, the race is not over yet",
and once again I pick myself up
to continue where I left off....

I am a wounded soldier on this battleground,
my scars are numerous,
they remind me of lessons learnt,
and roads to be avoided in life...

I am not perfect,
sometimes I am the cause of hurt,
other times the cure;
I’ll do my best to alleviate your pain,
for I am your friend
on whom you can depend on....

I have my shortcomings,
they are plentiful,
but as life goes on I learn,
help me learn, my friends,
for I am only one,
but not alone...

whatever I may do,
pleasing or not
please forgive me,
for I’m only human,
I have much to learn on this road that I travel.....
