I Am

I am fragile, I am
         So easily broken,
Thrown away, forgotten.
         Deep down, I am frightened.
I cannot bear to know
         That someday I'll fade to ash,
Or lie rotting, murdered,
         On a batttlefield.
I am scared to know this,
         Shaken to my center,
Unsettled by it.
         I am weak and alone.
I am nothing by myself.
         I am not, nor will be,
Someone great, worth knowing.
         I am not though I know;
I cannot though I do;
         I won't though I hunger;
For I am but human,
         And I am alone.
