Am I Even A Human

By Shriddhi Singhal

Am I even a human now

When I’ve caused someone pain

When I’ve lied

When I’ve laughed over someone’s tears

And when I’ve been anything but Nice.

Am I even a human yet

When I’ve walked over my own principles

And seen someone else’s identity getting sold up front

Am I even a human left

Or humanity has left me at my stakes

Am I even worth trusting

Or Comparing a soul

After all aren’t we all merely side actors

In a play where destiny plays the lead role

Who’s got an all white, super light spark

Isn’t everyone burnt a little

From inside?

With ashes

Replacing their

Dying amber lights.
