Only Human

Only Human

A Poem by procrastination
"

Wrote this in math class due to me being bad at math and me being bad about doing work

"
I've fallen down this rabbit hole.
I'm stuck inside a glass fishbowl.
I'm trapped in this supermassive black hole.
Please help me out.

But wait, I'll hide, don't catch me here.
You need to see that I have no fear.
I'm fine, I don't need help, my dear.
Don't quench this drought.

My previous, static life is changing.
It's all a game, don't know who's playing.
All reality is fading.
But I don't know, know, know.

I'm trying to do good, but I'm sinning.
I'm losing, don't know who's winning.
The entire world is quickly spinning.
I wish this will slow, slow, slow.

Suppose I have some pride
Let's pretend that I don't cry
My weaknesses, I'll hide
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.

Suppose I let you in
But what will happen, what then
Please don't toss me in the bin
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.

I'm battling against this hidden rage.
I'm trying to escape from this locked cage.
I'm fighting to win this war I wage
Please let me sleep.

I've built walls around my darkened state.
I'm running out of fresh, clean slates.
Just go, just run, and please don't wait.
I don't want to dream.

My entire life is changing
It's all a game, I'm the only one playing.
My sense of self is fading.
S**t I can't see, see, see.

I've given up, and I'm not trying.
Even if I win, I'll still be dying.
My head is flaming hot and frying.
F**k, set me free, free, free.

Suppose I have some pride
Let's pretend that I don't cry
My weaknesses, I'll hide
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.

Suppose I let you in
But what will happen, what then
Please don't toss me in the bin
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.

I'm playing for both black and white.
I'm playing for both opposing sides.
Win or lose, I don't care.
I'm battling with my own head here.

I'm my own worst enemy.
But I can make it, c'est la vie.
There's no winner in this game.
And there's no one else to blame.

Suppose I have some pride
Let's pretend that I don't cry
My weaknesses, I'll hide
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.

Suppose I let you in
But what will happen, what then
Please don't toss me in the bin
'Cause I'm only human on the inside.
