Human

I'm a little less human than I was before
Cut apart like a doll and sewn back together
With cursive stitches
They borrow my blood
And put it in a category
It's a passionate burgundy
But it's still in the vial
And I am still sitting here
Exactly as I shouldn't be
Is life a thing that I'm doing
Or a thing that's happening to me
I am a science experiment
Onlookers take notes
I am a statistic, one sheet in a stack of test results
How many more pieces can I lose
Before I am more robot than human
A poem from “Poems for the Dark” by NIGHTBIRDE
