Human Nature

A good human
But a flawed lover
A good soul 
But still a tormentor
A good mask
But also a mind gamer
This is human nature
Contradictory and contagious
Yet full of life

You have captured so well in your poem the dichotomy of human nature and the mixture of virtue and vice that so defines us.
