A Synthetic Soul
To be Human
You are the breath that blew out
the flickering light of the match
that was meant to light the candle
that I was to use to find my way.
Through the labyrinth, through the gauntlet,
beyond the maze.
Without sunlight, there are no rainbows
inside the shadow I call my life.
Peering through tiny windows that
blink while I'm alive.
I can't believe this picture's whole.
I just don't feel it inside.
My body tells me that something is missing.
My brain tells me that I'm locked inside.
Clawing at the walls, imploding deeply like a bomb
beneath the sea.
No wonder this weight on my chest
To even breathe at this depth is a feat.
It's #ell to carry on and be human
with blood in my veins and a heart that just beats.
