Human

Human

A Poem by Jake Staffeld

I will carry you 
To a higher plane
Even if it's nothing
But this darkness
Taken from in to out

A new hunting ground
More powerful prey
Fighting off the Demons
To protect what's left
Of everything human

A sorrow falls
Every time one of us
Is gone from this life
We are fading 
Faster than thought
And we want 
To disappear

But we can't let
The sadness take over
Every time we have a dark day
There are shining lights 
All around us
Remember the people
That are your friends
Old and new
And you will remain 
Human

Jake! This was amazing and so inspiring! I will definitely advise my friends to read this if they have a bad day...because sometimes we forget that even though we have a bad day or week or period of life, there are people that love us and are there for us! Great write!

"Every time we have a dark day / There are shining lights / All around us." Those were my favorite lines. Maybe it's just me, but I thought that overall, this was just a little bit choppy. Nice work, though.

Thank you for the positive poem. Life can be hard. We need good friends and family to make us laugh and feel we are needed. A excellent poem. Thank you.
