I thought that humans were weak

But I was wrong

I thought emotions clouded their vision

And that when those they cared about were in danger

Their decision

Would be to give up all hope

Like a climber hanging off a rope

They would finally get tired and drop to the floor

I would shock then and they would be no more

But now I finally see

That my knowledge has deceived me

And that the truth behind human emotions

Is that they give a human the strength

To take on any challenge

Now all I wish is that I had understood this sooner.
