Detached

I feel detached
From humanity
How could I be an army?
How could I be the enemy
When I'm more than human

I'm the hero
I must be
Because the hero
Can do anything
And does hard things
Without batting an eye

Why would I do that
If I was just human
How could I do anything
If I was less than average
No I must be magic

I have to be
I feel it inside of me
I must help who I can
I must do what I was made for

But what was I made for
Who do I pray for
When I don't believe in a god

Maybe I am one
I must be

Because only a god could take this on

The pain in my chest
I have to be the best

I can't be human
Because I would never

Subject a human

To this

I can't cry
I need to be a light
In your dark
Don't snuff me out

Like you could snuff out a god
For I am strong
I must me
The weight I bear
Is far too heavy
For any mere mortal

I must have a portal
For my mind
Lives many lives
To please so many people

I must be a hero
For I am flexible
I can bend to anyones will
I can stretch
I can heal
I peel away my layers
And sew them back together

So I must be a superhero

Right?

No human could do this

It wouldn't be fair

They would pull out their hair
And break down
And I have not

So,
I must strong
Right?

I must sing along
Right?

I can't move on
Right?

I...
must be wrong
Right?

This has gone on too long

Time to ring the gong

And go back to being human

It's a looming terror
To think that I'm breakable

Magic can't break
Hero's don't break
Gods don't break

For heavens sake!

I don't break.

Humans are allowed to break

I can't

So how can I be human?

I am detached
I have a path
In my head
It winds and bends
And I pretend
And play hero's
And gods
And be magic

Magic cant cry
Hero's never lie
And gods never die

I can't cry
I'll never lie
And...
I don't think I've seen that last part yet

I don't plan to
Not any time soon

For if I do,

I don't want to think about it

Gods don't fear death
Neither do hero's
And magic can't fear it

So I suppose I am human

That doesn't feel right

I must. Be. A. light.
I.must.be.alright.
I.must.fight.

But

Fuck






















I'm tired.
