Sub-Human

Almost human

Still, not quite

Foolish, ignorant

Searching for something,

Anything

 

These words said

Late in the night

Every single night

Said by you,

Who tells everyone that you aren't over me

 

I don't see why my flaws are worse than yours:

Sociopathic, apathetic, trying so hard to be different

That you follow the same overused pattern

As every other "different" person out there

 

How could I be foolish?

You, the great wise man, fell for me

Maybe you aren't wise at all

It's just a facade, part of you so-called "cool"

 

Manipulative you called me

When I'm really just ambitious

Really just trying to make people see

I am worth something,

Anything

 

Did you ever stop to think

That you are the almost human?

That maybe, you should try feeling something

Instead of going about your life

Hiding behind your mask of "different"

If you can't tell already, I don't try very hard. I write what's on my mind and hope it turns out well.
