Paint Me

PAINT ME
am sick but not scared,
for death has feared me,
since a hundred years ago.
travelling the world 
has not scared me,
but having to run away 
when years pass by
and I still hold my beauty

am tired but not weak
for strength has always been me
and when it shines so brightly
I hate my ridiculous life
am human but impossible
with a heart but I feel dead 
my blood runs in  my veins 
but it never feels hot

paint me for all you want
but  not a monster 
running for your heart 
won't be just enough
for now that am sick 
I need you human
