A little bird once said to me

If I wanted to be free from all the pain and the memories

But I don't know, those memories and the pain make me feel human

I don't want to feel inhuman

My skin is torn and scarred from all the times I wanted to feel human

I smile sadly as I stare at my palm

Red lines scattered all around

When my hand moves, it's as if they are smiling at me

The blood pools in the center and slowly drips down

Splish splash

It pools at the bottom of the bowl

Laughter echoes all around as the little bird comes back

So, it says, what is your final decision

To be free I want to say, no scream it to the world

As if he had known from the start

He flies to close, my soul is now gone everything along with it

No more pain

No more memories

A clean and empty slate

A new start

But all I feel is the numbness of nothing
