Humanity

 

Take care of me

I am fragile

I am marked—a penciled shape

Of insecure, unsafe lines

Drawn on a calico landscape

Of mottled browns and oranges

A silent backdrop against the

Raging winds of change

 

Take care of me

I am careless

I am clumsily constructed—warped Legos

Used to define the boundaries of home

Built upon unsteady ground

Ready to tumble at the slightest movement

Futilely battling against the

Raging winds of change

 

Take care of me

I am in love with you

I am hopelessly hoping for something

A bridge over the chasm between us

Suspended by the look in your eyes

The butterflies in my stomach

Tenuous connections forged into ropes twisting in the

Raging winds of change

 

Take care of me

I am fragile

I am careless

I am in love with you.
