I AM JUST LIKE YOU
by Kevin Siervo
I
I am just like you
Fragile, weak and frantic
I could make mistakes, commit sins
and destroy things
II
I am just like you
Cold, stubborn, arrogant
I might speak too harsh
Care too little and
won’t even dare to listen
III
I am just like you
Clumsy, liar and hypocrite
I could tell the opposite,
mindtwist, or worse could even betray you
IV
I am just like you
Brute, dominant, selfish
I might criticize you, act superior and
do things my way without contemplation
V
I am just like you
Assertive, ambitious and insecure
I could want all things,
leave nothing for you
and take much as I can
VI
I am just like you
Afraid, scared and ashamed
To show these sides I have
You might hate me or judge me
V
I am just like you
And we share the same miseries
Human as we are
No one’s perfect and we all are.
