Who am I..?..or is it, What Am I..?????

I am a human
I have likes
I have dislikes
I feel joy
I feel pain
I feel pity
I feel compassion
I fear
I love
I yearn
I laugh
I cry
I win some
I lose some
I am human
I walk the earth, with patience
while my spirit flies, with abandon
and yet do I yearn
to free myself of this bondage
I am human
but seek deliverance
from the very things that make me human
thus do I oscillate
between life and death
between death and life
till the two become synonymous
and I know not the difference
