Are You One of Us?

Would you rather be a monster or a human?

As a child, I grew up to be a good one

or so I thought

Years continue to pass 

Because the time won't ever stop

I saw the world with my own two eyes

How nice to explore as our time flies

The beautiful sky as the sun rises

The chirping bird as the flower dances

But things aren't as beautiful as they seem

They crumble and their lives are dim

Some are ignorant, some are heartless

You could hear that their cries are endless

I saw how they lived through these years

Which cause tears to roll down on my cheeks

Emotions flow and my mind is flooded

I saw myself and I was sickened

Have I always been a monster?

A monster created by myself

Or a monster created by the world

To survive and appease oneself

Ah, I think I get it now

What I really am is crucial

I am neither of those two

I AM HUMAN
