Love Poem: You Are Human

You Are Human

you don your best smile,
and hide your feelings behind a smiley face
yet every so often, life
feels more like an illusion
comprised of wishes fueled by fantasy

sanctioned by a lonely heart 
you're torn between love and lust
and start to believe you're flawed

the impossible will always be impossible,
though, in the internet world
reality hides behind a fake facade
that's cracked and broken
and easily washed away by trickling tears
 
put aside your mask
and show a skeptical world you have feelings
you're not a doll, a robot
or a toy

and if you feel like crying 
do not be ashamed
for you are human
it's in your nature to cry
that's what separates us from the animals
