My pain is scary,
My body hairy
My eyes are teary,
My mind weary
My dreams are tall,
My time small
What is wrong with me?
I am human.
My pain is scary,
My body hairy
My eyes are teary,
My mind weary
My dreams are tall,
My time small
What is wrong with me?
I am human.
What is wrong with you? Everything and Nothing.

As someone else noted, the line “My dreams are tall, my time is small” is an especially good line. It’s a wonderful ‘take-away’ line from this poem that will stay with you.

Wow. Every, single emotion in that poem can be seen directly in the tired eyes of the drawing. Very nice!

A human being. With hopes and dreams, tears to weep and memories to keep. Time eludes us, stretches us, but we hold steadfast. Clinging to a our younger days. Our inner child. Laugh, cry, be free. Be human!

Perhaps the most simple, but comforting answer to questions that potentially take a heavy toll on a stressed mind.
