What is human?

What does it mean to be human?

Does it mean that your body is flesh and bone?

My body is made of plastic.

What are you made of?

What makes a person whole?

Is it fulfillment? Happiness? Soul?

Whatever the case, I am not whole.

Are you?

Are humans intelligent or ignorant?

I am both.

Which one are you?

Are humans kind or wicked?

I do not know which one I am.

Do you know?

Do humans get to choose who they are?

I have tried to mould myself as best I can, into the person I want to be

Have you?

Are you human?

I am, decidedly, not human.

I am that which I do not know of

I am that which I do not wish to discover

I hope never to know who I am.

Who are you?
