I'm Human Too
Angry words and vengeful tones
dripped like poison
from our lips.
We were both to blame.
But you said you're just human,
so it's okay.
What about me?
Aren't I human too?
You said it was all my fault,
but then you said
you loved me.
I don't understand.
Your words are salt in my wounds,
so I'll just say
I'm sorry.
But are you sorry?

I wrote this poem right after my mom and I had a big argument. It's sort of an apology, but it's also more than that. My mom justified her actions by pointing out that she's just human and humans make mistakes. But then she blamed me for my mistakes. So what does that make me? An alien? I'm human too, and I make mistakes...it's just life. How come she justified her actions, but I have to take the blame for all of mine? And then she went and told me she loved me...which I know is true, but her timing made it seem hypocritical.
