To Our Vices
Discharged from a hole
Error to the throne
I am not human
At least, not as you understand it
Smoggy thoughts, manic
This is my diet
I will never stop
My body is failing, I must sustain
Pressures you exude
Are hands on the noose
I am not human
So do not ask of me to let it go.

To say I am not human, it seems a perspective perhaps of feeling dehumanized, taken advantage of or abused. There is a sense of struggle and confusion in metaphors such as smoggy thoughts and hands on a noose.
This feels like a personal dive and I appreciate connecting with you.
