To become human

You must withdraw the love from your veins

And spread it on your face

To clear your skin if sin

 you must hold the sorrow in your veins

Let it rip your organs out

But despite the pain 

Hold the gore and smile..

 

To become human

You must abandon your soul

Create a vortex of empty space

A black hole which swallows your heart

To drop bloody tears in the void below 

Create medals out of normality 

In order to keep you sane

 

To become human

You must set fire

To what you think makes you different 

And laugh, for they are flaws 

And while you are never perfect 

You’re the most normal you have ever been

And that’s all that matters to you,

A human..
