Claw at my chest Raw flesh in my breath Scream in the pressure of my tongue Leave me be For I am one. Skin under my nails Shrieking wails echo against The walls of my brain Leave me be For I can barely handle one. Dark room Silent room Empty room With the exception of me For I am one. I am one; So why is human nature Burdened by the need for more?

Bursts of pain
Claw at my chest Raw flesh in my breath Scream in the pressure of my tongue Leave me be For I am one. Skin under my nails Shrieking wails echo against The walls of my brain Leave me be For I can barely handle one. Dark room Silent room Empty room With the exception of me For I am one. I am one; So why is human nature Burdened by the need for more?
In my desire for nothing more, that is what I have achieved, nothing more. Sans feelings, sans beauty, sans life. And yet life ensues.
