Humanity is your ability to feel,
It's you're ability to think.
To experience love,
To live for someone else.

It's one's ability to feel empathy,
To experience a myriad of emotions.
That it what it is to be Human.
But what about me?

I don't feel happy,
I don't feel empathy.
I've forgotten the warmth of love.
I survive for myself.

My happiness left with my family.
My love left with a divorce.
My empathy left with the first shot.
Am I still Human?

Can i still be Human
If all I can feel is hatred.
Can I still be Human
If all I have is anger.

Can I still be Human
if I only experience is pain.
With all that I have become,
Am I still considered Human?
This has been on my mind for a while now. Between the things I had to do while deployed, to losing the family i built with the woman i loved, to being forced back into the pit of poverty that i was raised in after working my *** off. It's been 4 years since i lost everything.
