Should I turn my humanity off?
Will it make me better?
Would it ease my pain?
Take away the darkness?
Erase the weakest parts of me,
For a shell that won’t hurt anymore.
Is this the better option?
Tell me.
Should I be human?
Or just turn it all off?

luckily, if you have access to the switch
you can toggle it on and off;
sometimes we Must, prioritise ourselves
Insure our own survival, before
we look to others
then, when we have the capacity to help someone
without, being in danger of getting lost in their struggle
then we can offer a hand and switch our humanity on, if you will...
I thought this was an intriguing write, some thought provoking concepts introduced
thanks for sharing
