Human Or Demon

Sometimes life can be cruel,
Sometimes we make mistakes.
Mostly we are human.

Some people kick others when they are down,
Some people help repair the damage done.
Some people destroy the good in life,
Some people repair the destruction done.

Mostly we hide behind reason,
Mostly we rely on the fact that we are only human.
Mostly we don't accept that we make mistakes.
Mostly we don't see the suffering ans pain.

Are we human then?
Maybe we carry a demon within.
Maybe we are not human at all,
Maybe we are demons pretending.
