To be human...

Endless hope and optimism

Terrifying fear

Love that you'd give your life for

Regrets for things not said

Or worse, said

Moments that make your heart stop....with joy....or pain

"This time it's going to be different!"

But it's never going to be the same...

Guilt fades but is never erased

We all have to live with it

Whatever "it" is

This is not a decision

We just do...

what it takes to be human
