Am I Human
If I can't feel why I'm here?
Am I Human
If I want to disappear?
Am I Human
If the light, it burns my skin?
Am I human
If I don't know right from sin?
There's a danger in me
This blatant stranger in me
And I can't fight
From what I can't hide
This fuckin' anger in me
And I've tried to pick up these pieces
Of the things that I've shattered
And the shards that I've lost
Were the things that really mattered
But too late did I realize
That I'd become so numb
That the glass of all my memories
Cut me till I succumbed
To the things that I hate most
Me, myself and I
That I'd become a ghost
Was I still human when I died?
Am I Human
If it was never really me?
Am I Human
If there was no more I could be?
Am I Human
If it's the one thing that I'm not?
Am I Human
If it's the thing that I forgot?
It was never what I meant
All the empty words I spent
But they never gave a damn
I had no reason to repent
Cause this world, it bled me
And it fed me
A diet it meant to end me
But you know what I still envy?
The people who can look into the mirror
And see that they're alive
Not some shade who lives fear
Transparent from his lies
Cause when I scream up to the heavens
I can see all that I lack
In the sound of roaring thunder
From the whips upon my back
Crack
Like a mountain coming down
Tsunami on the rise
Still hoping that I'll drown
Cause I've found
No help left for humanity
No, not from where I'm standing
Cause all that's left's insanity
Spun from this human branding
Am I Human
If I never really cared?
Am I Human
If I wasn't always there?
Am I Human
If I lived inside the dark?
Am I Human
Even after I depart?
Am I still human?
If I can't feel why I'm here?
Am I Human
If I want to disappear?
Am I Human
If the light, it burns my skin?
Am I human
If I don't know right from sin?
There's a danger in me
This blatant stranger in me
And I can't fight
From what I can't hide

Gone away
You may be
Gone
Your life may have been
Cut short
But your existence
Lives on
In our minds
In our hearts
Literature
Edge of Emptiness
At times you will be powerless.
You will be unable to do a damn thing
To stop the wreckage you see unfolding before you
And the consequences will come in blood.
Those moments are bitter
And they fill you with hatred
So much so that you'll wish;
You'll wish for everything around you to simply die!
And when it has, when all around you is blackened dust...
Finally, finally, there won't be anyone left
To ever see you cry.
- Written by Word of Chen, Masquerade series - Poem 2

I care
i.
your words drip with crimson
as you bite your lip;
you always liked to pretend
you held the strength of metal,
and now all that’s left is the aftertaste of copper
trickling down your throat-
what happened to the child throwing pennies in the fountain?
ii.
hidden under the threaded sleeves of your sweater,
I can picture your hands shaking like earthquakes
and your fists held clenched;
I worry your fingernails cut dashed lines
into the palms of your hands,
like the ones painted on back roads and highways-
I’m worried where you plan on going
iii.
viewing your puffy eyes and hearing woebegone-winded words
tangle on your tra

Thanks to XeruFury for the tag and the prompt (xerufury.deviantart.com/journa…).
Not gonna do that tag bit, but your prompt got me inspired, so I did bother to roll out a song to attach to it. I envisioned it as a rap, strangely enough, despite that it's not typically my genre. I did change the line structure a little (obviously) to suit it better, and opted it as a chorus rather than a verse. Hope you don't mind and hope you enjoy.
