A Scrap Poem For Scrap Humans

if you try to read the definition of human with sunglasses on
you'll only notice the smudges on the screen.

you'll notice it has the most traction
out of any other word
in the entire human dictionary

you'll notice your escape route
lies only two veins away
from your fragile skin

you'll notice that the darkness
drowns your thoughts
but the daylight
is in love with your skin

you'll notice that its ok
to live in the shadows
because you can make
whatever you need there

we may not have time
to notice our feet in the dirt
but we have our entire lives
to get them out.

being human
means more than to die,
it means to notice the life in everything we do.
