A Mere Humanoid

I thought I was a rock
Not vulnerable but strong
Overcoming any block
It's a pity I was wrong

I thought I was a bird
Always flying free
But now that sounds absurd
With all that I can see

I thought I was a mountain
Always standing tall
But it's impossible when someone's shouting
You're ever so tiny and small

I thought I was a tree
Feet planted on the ground
It was only what I wanted to be
Due to the chaos all around

But I am a mere humanoid
Vulnerable and weak
Trapped inside the endless void
Of never finding what I seek
