What does it mean to be human,
Many have asked before,
Does it mean to work and strive
To want and fight for more?

Does it mean to earn enough money,
To buy a huge, new house,
To drive a fancy sports car,
Have kids, a dog and spouse?

Does it mean to live freely,
To do what you wish and want,
To listen to old records,
To write life in your own font?

Does it mean to think,
Be smarter than the rest
Be smarter than an animal
Be smart and be the best?

Or does it simply mean,
To feel, to hurt, to heal,
To experience fondness,
To experience grief?

Maybe to be human,
Is to know how to love,
Understand madness and confusion,
Art, all the rest above.

Maybe to be human,
Is be able to feel,
To understand our feelings,
And help each other heal.

Or maybe to be human,
Is something else completely,
Maybe it's a secret,
That each of us know deeply.

Maybe for all its different,
Seperate, unusual thoughts,
And maybe that's the beauty,
That being human brought.
