Warning: Swearing

I am only human.
I have two lungs and one beating heart
And I am only human for fucks sake.
I am only human and meteorites are crashing into my ribcage
And my lungs are being attacked by gunfire smoke and grenades.
I am only human and this one beating heart doesnt even
Wish to continue beating anymore.
I am only fucking human and my mind is a blizzard of cyclones and explosions
And there is a war going on inside my mind
And shots are being fired left right and center
And every single bullet seems to be aimed at me.
I am only human but every breathe I take feels like
A struggle to stay alive.
I am drowning in a sea of scalding tar
And all I can feel is pain
And God I want it to be over with.
I am not strong, or resilient, or brave, or anything.
I am only human and all this pain is fucking ridiculous.
