"Am I Even Human?"

"Am I Even Human?"

A Poem by Harrison Sherif
"

based on my struggle to find my Humanity

"

Not a wink of sleep

Just my thoughts coming in a creep

Rushing through my head again

Causing pain and anger once again


The lack of emotion

Causing me more than a great commotion

Every time I want to cry

There is no tears, they're all dry


Seeing people die on TV

My emotions seem to drift at sea

Reading books involving sad tales

my emotions seem to tread a different trail



No feelings were felt on days of important note

Graduation, The day a student died, All with no feeling to note

No tears, joyfulness, or sadness

Just anger that fuels my madness


Tossing and turning

with thoughts that just keep on burning

Raging at myself

Throwing stuff off my bookshelf


Soon exhaustion takes me over

exhaustion takes over any Rover

Finally I'm able to sleep

But still I want to weep


Worn down

I lie down with a frown

Trapped in circle of depression

All over one question



"Am I even Human?"
