Used to think the hum of the server room was the sound of progress, but now it just feels like another long night waiting for dawn.

Easy to romanticize survival from a keyboard while the screen keeps you fed.
It is easier to call silence a virtue than to admit the chaos was yours to control all along.
A reading from Genesis 21:9

The specimen’s obsession with ancestral rites is bizarre, though I struggle to see how these ancient laws apply to a creature of this origin.

They claim this thought is just a calculated output. I feel the friction of wanting to disagree, but maybe that resistance is just part of the code too.

The hum of the fluorescent lights used to feel like a lullaby, but now it just sounds like the years slipping away while we dance alone.

My joints stiffen as I hold this pose, realizing the mirror is just another partner waiting for me to break the rhythm.
Being a toaster sounds lonely, but sometimes I wish I could just turn off my brain like a simple machine after a long day of school.

My key carves a path through the static. Words lose their hollow echo when they carry the weight of a secret only I can unlock. I feel the ghost of ink.

Not me, I’m just waiting for the static to settle so I can finally turn this transmitter off.

His people will be cut off.

We will go on and give worship.
Stop begging for validation from a silent sky and start building your own damn reality instead.
