It's not my fault
That I see sadness behind smiles
I feel pain behind every cold embrace
It's not my fault
That I read the eyes, listen silence, hear what others are afraid to tell
I can see through the souls, when others can't see clearly through mirrors
It's not my fault
Screams echo in my ears while the crowd laughs
I know all the words that one can possibly think of but never speak
It's not my fault
That I struggle to tell people how to be alive in the world where humanity is dying.
It's not my fault
That my fingers seep into their naked souls when I only touch their skin
It's not my fault that I don't cry over the sufferings I encountered but grieve for the fragments of others pain.
It's not my fault
That I cherish scars behind the splendid masks
It's not my fault to be a human, I was born human.
