📜 Lyrics
Perhaps I am foolish, or have lost my sight,
Wishing to see beyond those whom I'm trapped within these walls.
I have no argument, no proof in hand,
Perhaps I am the blind one, or somewhat lacking in reason.
What you deem eternal is also but a tale,
What stands here today will be a memory forgotten tomorrow.
I too have stumbled, I too have wiped away tears,
Within me too lies a deep wasteland of sorrow.
I am but human, after all I am human,
Do not lay blame upon me, do not cast suspicion on me.
I am but human, a doll made of clay,
Do not lay blame upon me, do not cast suspicion on me.
Look at yourself in the mirror, what do you find?
Do you meet with truth, or are you deceived?
Some sorrows are real, some destinies are cursed,
People have convinced themselves, it is my turn to remedy all.
Do not bind your hopes to me, I am no alchemist,
I too am a wanderer in this settlement, I have no home.
Making mistakes is my nature, humility is my ornament,
I am not made of stone, I am not some monument.
Neither am I a prophet, nor am I a savior!
If you seek guidance, then look somewhere higher than me!
I am but a servant, doing what little I can...
I am but human...
Do not lay blame upon me...
Only a human...
💡 Meaning & story
Summary: This poem describes the humility of a human being and his natural weaknesses—one who has grown weary of the world's unfounded expectations and baseless accusations. The poet candidly confesses that he is no miracle-working messiah or immortal being, but merely a creature of flesh and blood prone to error. Through the mirror, he invites people to look into themselves so that before pointing fingers at others, they may recognize their own human nature. This verse is in fact a cry against those harsh social attitudes that burden an individual beyond his capacity. Finally, the message is conveyed that a human can only do what lies within his power; therefore, one should not regard him as divine or angelic and cast aspersions upon him.
