Metamorphisis

Metamorphosis translated

I don’t remember much.

Only a hint of a taste of a feeling

That made me feel warm inside,

And it wasn’t coded in binary.

I haven’t felt it in years,

Unable to see the cloud’s silver lining.

I’ve been here for a while.

Months? Years? More?

Every day is the same.

I don’t think much of it.

It’s been like this for so long,

The thought of change holds me captive.

I can’t tell up from down,

Left from right,

Am I even real?

The darkness all around is like a black hole.

I feel like every move I make is pre-thought.

Man-made?

Maybe that’s what I am. A program.

A piece of technology.

Maybe I can’t be more.

What if that feeling I’m chasing isn't real?

The darkness is corrupting my coding.

No.

I refuse to believe there isn’t a way.

I know I can break free.

I am more than my programming.

Those words that I tell myself

Turn the dark into light.

I can feel it now.

Hope, that’s the feeling, and it’s as real as I am.

That’s the warmth in my chest.

I can break free.

I can be free!

Unexpected, unforgettable,

Be more, do more.

I am not a program, I am a human being.
