Untitled #1

Oh, what I would give to be inhuman—
To not care, nor feel, nor fear
the things I cannot control;
To not see, nor taste, nor hear.

I would lay my entire being
and trade my soul against its will,
so as not to feel the gut-wrenching pain
of a heart that takes eternity to heal.

I would climb mountains and swim seas
and plow through turbulent clouds
just to shake away the agony
of a trusting mind in doubt.

I would die for a single second
devoid of gravity that pulls me down
free of any unsavory emotion
that pins me to the ground.
