I’m left with no distinguishable features God, I barely even recognize myself Why does my reflection look so distant? Why do I feel in a constant state of poor health? It’s roughly 3 years since the doctors and I decided we’d take action so this disease wouldn’t spread Every day when I’d look down, I’d be reminded that I’d retained my life, but lost both of my legs At first I was content with these replacements. Stronger than I ever thought I’d be But soon my self esteem flipped to abasement when people gawked at my anomaly NO NOT YOU…. YOU Seems as though the sun stays out forever. I remember how that heat felt on my skin Now all I feel is the occasional vibration through this system of sensors I’ve been set in. They tried their best, but it just kept on spreading and within a month my arms were done as well And as you’d guess, so was my entire torso, now I’m not much but a cold mechanic shell I’ve never been afraid of not existing, it’s everyone around me that fears that. But all I feel is my spirit resisting this second chance of permanence I have. NO NOT YOU…. YOU As I vaguely stare (with visual prosthesis) at an experiment not quite turned out as planned, I’m left with no distinguishable features. God, I barely even recognize this man. An hour ago, I went to see my doctors and they said something has spread into my brain. Not the disease, no this was something different. When I asked what, they failed to fully explain. A part of me interprets it familiar I guess it was just a matter of time. A part of me says the other part’s inferior. Change my brain but will it change my mind? NO NOT YOU…. YOU
