Payne In Pleasure

Mistakes

Howling at the moon because my indecision has left me cold,
and I have been found wanting.
Praying for one more shot at the title,
But my faults? I’m not flaunting.
They exist just as I do.
I am human.
I am not bitter, I am incomplete.
I am not confused, I am broken.
I am not lost, for I have found you.
In this moment, I am awake.
I am aware.
I am human.

(2013)
