How to be the human that you are

It is not easy

to have my skin.

The way i feel life through.

The way i bleed

when my heart is cracked open.

The way i breath through my anxiety

and rest between my heart beats

in oder to feel i am still alive.

It is not easy

to have my mind,

a wanderer,

an adventure,

a meditator,

a wolf,

a wild creature of the jungle,

a child,

a weird element

that dances through the waves of life

with intesity

and sometimes exhaustion.

It is not easy to live

with my thousands dreams

and commit to none.

It is not easy

to not love

when my heart loves

so widely

and exposed

as its layers become transparent

and i am seen

totally in my innocence

or nakedness

by a stranger

exactely as i am.

It is not easy

to be my own worst critic

while trying to transform myself.

It is not easy

to paint my eyes

with the colors of my passions

and then follow another direction

because the energy that created me

wants me to go elsewhere.

Its not easy to hold

a wild spirit like me

that travels between many worlds

and comes back

as an old soul

that is so young and fresh

at the same time.

It is not easy

to see the world with my eyes

because my eyes

feel everything they see,

they not only give me visuals

of the daily reality that surrounds me.

It is not easy

to be so different

and still be among many

that simply don’t get you.

It is not easy

to be so unique

and still search to fit somewhere

because to be so unique

often means to stand alone

and to be alone sometimes

can damage us.

Because we are made for each other

but it is not always easy

to find a bridge

that connects me and you

without asking of us

to be above the same ocean.

I know it is not always easy

to be you.

To wear your skin.

To feel your heart through this universe.

To understand the many layers

of your psyche

and make sense

of other people reality as well.

It is not easy

to be a human,

hence we came here

to experience what it means

to have the skin we do

and dream the dreams we dream.

We came here to be as complex

as we are.

As weird as we are.

As lost as we often may feel.

As strangers as we are.

But unique

in our layers.

We came here

to be as different

as we could be

and its time for you to be you

and me to be me.
