Almost Human

Fighting each battle,

Day in and day out,

No expression,

No sound,

Battling inner demons,

Keeping them in darkness,

No salvation,

No light,

Body aches and joints crack,

Hands grow cold,

No survivors,

No remorse,

Unknown territory,

New sights, heart pounds,

No friends,

No family,

Battered and broken,

Cold and alone,

No life.

No one.

It's only then that we become

almost human...
