Tebogo Phaladi Cornelia Phooko Poet Free verse

I am Human

I am Human
I am complex in my nature,
And unmethodical.
I can appear aimless, but eventually suprise you when I reach mountain tops.

And the sweetness you see can be decieving
Rest assured bitterness may be hiding 
In secret places within me.
I may be friendly today, then arrogant in a decade
And that will still be me.

I constantly grow,
I constantly evolve,
Like a chameleon I instantly change with my environment.
Just a warning, Never say you know me.

I may allow you to know,
what I want you to know.
And unfold only what gives me peace,
I may deny you the satisfaction to see what eats down my spine.

I roll like seasons,
perhaps with treasons.
However, never lie to yourself 
and Say "you know the other"

For, reality is "the only person you can dare to entirely circumscribe
or rather cognize is yourself"
Not me, Not another

For I am human,
and as humans we are all unpredictable.
we are extraordinary living beings
And involuted
