Caution, Human Being Inside

I live my days one after another.

I do not prognosticate into the future,

Making claims of clairvoyance.

I am a combination of nature and nurture

And reject the notion it is one or the other.

I am just as mysterious as anybody else,

Not subject to labels put upon me

In an effort to make me safe to handle.

I am no safer than any other human and

I am subject to all the contradictions

Of being alive and sentient in the 21^st century.

Any preconceived notions of who and what I am

Or plans to make me something I am not

Should be discarded

As these will prove a great hindrance

If the goal is to know me at all.

If I am fearfully and wonderfully made

Maybe a little trepidation

And a lot of curiosity

Is the smartest way to approach?
