Poetry

To Be Human.

To be human you must be willing to lose everything.
You become numb and spend your lifetime searching for the cure.
To be human you must wrap your hands around the throat of the devil while you drink the poison he brought for you today.
You become evil and bathe in your own sin like you are in heaven.
To be human you must scream with the banshees and hope you are not next.
You become so scared you fear life itself.
To be human you must forget everything and walk away from everything you know.
You become so lost you become the one thing you promised yourself not to be.
You become the reaper of souls.
Humans carry it all.
Their bloody heart and the weapon to defend their right to live.
