Ebracing my Humanity.

“I’m going to be a fox” she said
“did you know they mate for life?”
I told her I knew. And she asked
“what animal do you want to be?”

I don’t want to be a fox.
I don’t want to be a lion.
I don’t even want to be a bird.
So I told her “human”

I want to be human,
with the choice
To be faithful,
To be strong,
And live free.

I want to be the best human I can be.
