Human

Does it make me any less human

if it exists only in my mind

and the outside is as perfect

as society will allow?

Does it make me any less human

to watch red stain

the innocence of a dreamer,

lost in a nightmare?

Does it make me any less human

to wallow in self pity

and not get out of bed?

Does it make me any less human

to turn down and turn away from things I should love

and crave the things that will destroy me in the end?

Does it make me any less human

To adore my stomach growl

Does it make me any less human, if I'm entirely inhumane?
