Poem: I Just Wanna Be Human

Today's reflections put together in a poem, my intention is for you to connect with whatever feelings these words bring up for you.

I just wanna be human 

Without the confusion 

I’m the mad hatter 

I don’t flatter 

I walk to the beat of my own beautiful madness 

It’s a sadness

Forgetting the child within 

The grin that knew all possibilities 

That walked the wave of serendipity 

She only knew the moment 

She only knew how to be here 

But don’t fear 

Because when you see clear 

You’ll remember it isn’t near 

It is here 

To steer you through life 

I cut myself on the edge of the knife 

To come back to what I know is right 

Because don’t we also need the opposite to see 

Don’t we all need 

To feel trapped to know who we are as free 

Don’t we need separation to remember unity 

It’s not a curse you see 

To live as a human being 

It’s actually quite freeing 

When you embrace all the imperfection

It’s really a regression to being a child 

To being wild 

To being nature 

To being spirit in form 

Waking a new dawn 

Waking to a new rising sun 

To once again play and have fun

It’s not really a conundrum

with love,

Emma
