I know what it's like to have everything
I know what it's like to feel stalemate
I hold the sky in one hand
And stop it crashing with the other.
Pulling together is easy in theory
When deadweights don't counteract
I'm staked on everything
And at what price?
I'm not a god
But gods reconcile with me
And the burden of humanity
Is too heavy for my shoulders.
I am just a being
Inhabiting a body of man
I have euphoria from my surroundings
But it is short lived.
But then again
I have learned from man
That nothing lasts forever
And I won't live to see it.
So I hold this head high
Knowing I'll be gone in style
But until then I am just being
Someone who understands, yet doesn't.

I wrote this after experiencing a kind of sadness and empathy for humankind, the species I was born into. There are many other poems to be found based on such a reality, but this one is quite broad and all-encompassing of the deep sadness that follows the knowledge of realising that a rare few members of humankind appreciate all aspects of life as I do.
Here's to those who truly hold the same values as I ❤
