Inhumane

I know that you think I’m inhuman, 
And, in a way I am.
I can take so so much
Until it all becomes too much
Then I am drowning.
My heart is too heavy with feeling
I wish I couldn’t feel.
If I didn’t, surely I’d be alright
For real.

Heya Olivia, this one shows you are still very much human, reminds me of soldiers when on the front line, they actually grow jealous of their comrades that are so far gone they feel nothing, no fear no hope and an acceptance they are already dead, Great on the battlefield, but perhaps dangerous in society, I do wish you well, cheers David
