A masterpiece,
perfectly carved,
perfectly wired.

Then came mankind.
who ruins and pollutes each surface.

I've hated each and every inch of my being,
of what I've done,
and what I can't change.

So what makes you think
that your words and actions,
will make me break,
with the things I've known,
of the things I hate.

And in the midst of it,
there always comes a gift,
a breathtaking beauty,
one that coaxes,
and shows,
that it may not be all that it is.

And I don't know why,
why,
to such extent,
that such a gift,
bestowed onto one like me.

In being human,
with desires and temptation,
there's no telling of the lengths we go,
of where we'd reach,
of the distance we fall,
deeper and deeper.

The days that pass,
the time that flies,
the night that crumbles,
if given a choice,
I wouldn't live it all.

In that state of delusion,
with darkness that hazes my sight,
creating such a mythical illusion,
teasing and beckoning.

Enveloped in that cloud,
we live,
as though tomorrow doesn't exist,
like death is naught but a a century later.

Nothing matters,
in the way we fight,
in the way we watch,
in the way we live.

We tell ourselves,
it's all gonna work out,
that pain is constant,
that there's no reprieve,
no acceptance from they who surround us,
yet,
is that essential?

From they,
who just like us,
bleed and ache,
all the same.

And still we want it all,
everything that feels good,
that makes us alive in our skin,
and in sight,
lose the point of living entirely.
Being Human seems easy enough.
You live and you die; and the middle?

Unknown.

Life is the struggle of filling that gap.
A struggle that all of us go through alone.

Sure, we experience life in many different ways.
Through many different perspectives,
But we never count the days.
Time is the enemy of all of mankind.
Time is something that we scramble to find.

We like to love, but we love to hate.
Conflict is as human as the thirst to become great.
People would rather argue than hug.
Hate is the reason that love tends to fail.
But we all believe that love will prevail.

Fear is our boundary; It is our line.
The line in the sand between them and what's "mine".
It can leave you in the dark, or bring you to the light.
Fear is what separates the good from the great.
It keeps us humble for what we cannot dictate.


Just because you're breathing,
Does not mean that you're alive.
Living is not an action.
But the struggle to find how you die.

We don't choose to live.
We don't want to die.

But if you seek the truth, than it, you shall find.
The truth is what we strive for.
It's what makes life great.
Truth gives us power to destroy or create.

The truth is our answer.

Life is our question.
We play with our feelings
We toy with our heart
We give up our body
To escape the dark

It never was ours
So we treated it thusly
Escape with me now
Do you trust me?

If you do your a fool
If you don't you're alone
It's easier to be human
Than just flesh and bone

Seek ye the empty
Hold not til full
For senseless the senses
Wear us dull
I love that I am human.
That I can feel, and touch things.
Like the velvet of his skin.
The roughness of his hands.
And I love that I can find my way, even with my eyes closed.
Hearing every sound, every vibration rippling in the air.
Exhilarating and exciting me. Preparing me.
I love that I am human.
That I can exist, and love every moment of it.
Never knowing what's around the next bend, the next corner.
Being so aware of myself and the position I am in.
Looking up at the stars, and mapping out their coordinates.
Their legs dancing playfully billions of miles away.
I love that I am human.
That I won't live forever, so I must cherish every moment.
Get up after every fall.
And I love that I am human.
Because I can love the way I am supposed to.
Yell hallelujah with every breath, every heartbeat.
Use my hands until they become strained and weathered.
Or hide them under gloves, preserving their youth.
I love that I am human.
I love you.
There is so much you can give
until you run empty
there is so much you can give but
only if it's received,
accepted,
noticed.
There is only so much you can endure,
until your vessel overflows,
or filled till it cracks,
or broken,
or exploded.
" But i'm only human "
so is he
so is she
so am i
Then how is it possible to be excused of mistakes
merely over a factual statement?
Humans.
The most filthiest, demonic, heartless species
Destroying
Destructing
Damage
to the extent of the victim being
unfixable
humans destroy
then cries
and blame its own kind

( FAH )
You look at me
Do you see me?

Sounds come from my mouth
Do you hear me?

You say you're my friend
Do you know me?

I exist
Am I living?

Eyes pass over me as if I were mist
Am I really here?
I had become
empty space
between lines of your life.
Something you don't mind
skipping.

I don't know what to write,
but you know what?
We can both pretend
I don't exist.
I'm done.
How much can they eat?
Oh the green, skinny trunk,
the “less than a handful” leaves,
how much must be sacrificed to satisfy them?

I sit here on this wet bench thinking,
digging the earth of wood chips with my feet,
not caring about the other reality,
just wondering more of the black and white bear,
as I stare into the bamboo trees.
There was this world that I used to love,
A world of flying on the wings of a dove.
This world where we could play pretend
And laugh and sing with peers and friends.
There was this world I used to know,
Dragged my feet but it still wouldn't slow.

I knew this world would never last
What I didn't know, was that it'd go by so fast.
And now it's hard to get things done,
I used to care, it used to be fun.
I visit the memories every day,
But I'll never again feel the same way.

That world's gone and I have to adapt
And just move on from
*The life I used to have.
I can't stand 8th grade. I miss the life I used to have, the friends I used to have, the teachers I used to have, and the fun I used to have. All things I no longer have.
