Beyond the Boundaries
I've traveled the world
trekked the terrain
trudged through mud
and suffered through pain
I've worked,
worked my fingers to the bone
worked until I broke my toes
worked until my mind was broke
I've been with the best,
had my heart ripped from my chest
I took her by the hand
Encouraged her to tear it straight from my breast
Suffered the pain...physical, emotional
analytical and psychological
And it's strengthened me...
Evolved me...beyond the physical
Somewhere along the line
I died,
what died in me
was my humanity
I reflect...
Reminisce...
I wonder...
Is it all worth it?
I started as an outcast
I was different, I wanted in
So I read...
But, I'm of an alien class
I'm an isolated intellectual
Emoting only as a tool
Conjuring it when I need it
And dismissing it, when it's no longer needed
I am beyond human
And, in my isolation, I wonder
Is it worth it?
Is being beyond benevolent
I've transcended, but, at what cost?
At the cost of my humanity
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it...
Without a single, solitary doubt!
My turn-about is in full sprout
And, I will never second-guess.
Never doubt. Never alternate my route.
I've beaten, bent, and broken the barriers.
I think, therefore...
I am.
I am beyond.
I am beyond human.

So many thanks, Brenda! I'd guess that that is a feeling of commonality between us here. ;)

I am beyond human
And, in my isolation, I wonder
Is it worth it?
Is being beyond benevolent
It really got to me! And I think you are! Powerful!!
