:: all that I am ::

by - 7:00 AM



if all that I am
is yet another figure
another number
in this society

if all that I am
is another statistic
another study
another case to watch

if all that I am
is yet another person
burdened with the weight of that which is life

if all that I am
is a robot
a replaceable product
of society and its expectations

if that is all I am
I don't want it

Because what I am is human
I feel things deeper than I want
I touch things with the skin of my hand
I break apart and have to find all the pieces of myself
over and over again
losing some along the way
losing myself in this madness

if all that I am
is just another thread to society
don't sew me into the blanket
pull me out
let me be free
