the lament of a human who can't stand their skin

I have a feeling that I can grasp the knowledge

And if I could, I would

Regardless of the feeling that I'm messing with something beyond my comprehension.


Trembling my vision, darkening my field,

shaking to reality, leaving my mind dazed

this feeling has a name, but I've no access to it

making me feel something deeper than depressed.


Arrogantly, I blame this meat vessel that limits my capacities

that has bodily functions: breathes, eats, sleeps, and is;

So as I blindly rebel against my nature

I'm left lusting for that high

and hating myself for being... nothing but a mere fly.


To be aware of your humane limitations

and wishing for more, that is

in simple words for humans

annihilation.
