Human

A Poem by Mistylake

My name was human,
I was, an individual at heart,
But when war came,
I tore myself apart,

My name was human,
A great genius, was I,
But I let go of my fellow companions,
Now, we don't see eye to eye,

My name was human,
I, never felt well,
I, never saw myself,
So, I, placed myself in hell,

My name was human,
Only I, found truth in books,
But, the one time I remember,
The time love overtook,

My name was human,
I believed, I had nothing left,
But if you spend a lifetime looking down,
You don't see the shadow of death,

My name was human,
Now, it is gone,
My named, defined me,
My name once defined everyone
