I am only human

I am only human 

I can only do so much 

I am not able to control everything I'm given

I make mistakes

I feel regret 

Guilt seeps in I lose my breath

Cause I don't know what's next

Should I step forward or take two steps back 

Love someone 

take them for granted 

Hate someone 

and realize the consequnces

The worlds confusing but we keep going 

trying to find something that doesn't belong

We feel the rush and can't let it go 

Something stirs in us

Is it bad or good? 

We question ourselves

No one knows but it just feels good

Are we living for the feeling and the moment that will soon fade away

Or something more...

Like love...

Love that's too thick to be taken out and replaced

Or peace...

Peace that can come over any one of us and we feel at home 

maybe hope...

Hope for a brighter day than yesterday

Or just maybe...

An everlasting life that can't occur else we believe in something more than ourselves...

But who am I to say there is more, when I'm just human...

"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life,"  John 6:27
