"Am I Even Human?"A Poem by Harrison Sherifbased on my struggle to find my HumanityNot a wink of sleep Just my thoughts coming in a creep Rushing through my head again Causing pain and anger once again The lack of emotion Causing me more than a great commotion Every time I want to cry There is no tears, they're all dry Seeing people die on TV My emotions seem to drift at sea Reading books involving sad tales my emotions seem to tread a different trail No feelings were felt on days of important note Graduation, The day a student died, All with no feeling to note No tears, joyfulness, or sadness Just anger that fuels my madness Tossing and turning with thoughts that just keep on burning Raging at myself Throwing stuff off my bookshelf Soon exhaustion takes me over exhaustion takes over any Rover Finally I'm able to sleep But still I want to weep Worn down I lie down with a frown Trapped in circle of depression All over one question "Am I even Human?" © 2014 Harrison Sherif |
