Facing Our Demons
 

why is it we are so discontent
with our humanness
why must we struggle so hard
with who we are
a dog doesn't have to prove anything
he's merely a dog and doesn't
mind that at all

acceptance of our doom will save us
knowing we have failed at loving
will free us once and for all
for we cannot give what we don't have
and innocence once lost
can not be regained
