Unknown


I am alone, yet not lonely. I am unique, although I am just like you. I love, but I am not in love I care, and do not let myself be cared for. I wish, and cannot hope. I am living, yet I am not allowed to live. I am dangerous, although I am very gentle. I am disgusting, yet beautiful. I feel pain, even though I have been through no harm. I live on Earth, although I spend time in space. I am normal, yet I am insane. I am visible, but I cannot find myself. I am human, although I feel alienated. I feel clean, but I have become tainted. I am silent, although my soul is screaming. I stand before you, yet I am already so far gone.
