I'm still mortal

I *****
I ****
I eat
I stink
I try
I fear
And I burst out in tears
I fail
I succeed
I yearn to be freed
What is life
What is love
How deep can I be
My soul is on fire with thoughts of desire
I long to be near you
Yet feel I'm beneath you

I'm still mortal

I ****
I drink
I do
Before I think
I ****
At best
But that's all in jest
I'm good
I'm bad
I'm terribly sad
I'm tired and weary
I don't see things so clearly

Forgive me my sins
I've done terrible things
But this life takes its toll
And we all make mistakes

I'm still mortal.
