Only Inhuman, Not Inhumane

A beautiful dark little poem written from the perspective of a monster in pain.

I am only inhuman

I am not inhumane

Darkness comes in

When you cause me pain

My extremities twitch

My tentacles wallow  

I'm not a witch 

I lay down low

My tail you've seen

But not the tale that counts

Eyes are always keen

So I don't wander about 

I trudge, begrudgingly

Scared of my own movement

Why am I not free?

What have I to repent? 

I am not inhumane

I am only inhuman

As you cause me pain

More darkness comes in
