Just a Human Being
9/21/17
Just a human being
Heart, erratically beating
Scarred up from bleeding
Wheezing
Lungs and difficulty breathing
The same can be said for sleeping or dreaming
Someday from this place, I'll be leaving
Eyes, having trouble seeing
During the day and evening
Cheers!
Ears yet a severe
Problem with the ability to hear
Brain yet not truly thinking
Continually drinking
Like it's no big thing
Not a matter of mere days
Bones that break and age
Despite the winds of change
During any phase and stage
Regardless of if it happened to amaze
Or was considered strange
I'm not a kidder
Muscle that'll eventually wither
For any person and critter
Across the Earth
Organs that start to hurt
Then no longer work
Might seem all good and fine
It's just a matter of time
So while you can, enjoy the ride
