Just a few days ago I came across a poem (on some kind of family and friends forum) and I liked it so much I wanted to share it here. When it comes to poetry and novel writing, I am a very picky reader. If a poem does not grab my attention within the first few sentences then I usually do not read it to the end, which I think almost everybody can admit to doing with regards to other things.
And when I give a compliment to someone regarding their poems or writing then it means that I truly acknowledge that person’s talent. I am aware that not every poem a person writes will be great or will grab my attention immediately and that is alright too. The poem that I am about to share is written by the author, Ronny Doe, a person I do not personally know at all. I have also read his other poems and I must say he is quite a talented writer. I have added a link below to show where the poem can be found.
I am Only Human
Looking in the mirror
Disliking what I see
Face that looks familiar
Is the sinner in me
Looking at his sad eyes
Wet tears upon his face
Wiping away his tears
I feel like a disgrace
Looking at his despair
Accepting all the blame
With my hands clasped in prayer
I hang my head in shame
Looking at a blue man
Frozen heart melts like ice
For he’s only human
He’s not the anti-Christ
Looking in the mirror
Fervently I pray
From the face familiar
I cannot turn away
Looking at his broke heart
Along with broken dreams
A soul that’s torn apart
I hear my silent screams
Looking at the gold cross
Hanging down from my neck
Realizing I’m not lost
I show the Lord respect
Looking at a new man
Visions of Paradise
For I’m only human
I’m not the anti-Christ
