I was once a machine
"String bean, the social media,
anti-social, less than normal,
man made, woman owned machine".
I eventually became like everyone else,
absolutely no sense of self.
But I wanted to speak of love, I read of it so much;
"Can't be happy unless you're stuck up someone else's butt."
My happiness never had a real form before;
I mean, I smile all the time.
It was like when I was a child
Being told "I will give you a reason to cry."
I was string bean, giggling in a society of machines,
completely deceived by make believe.
My own feminitity torments me.
Play the games or make believe?
I find imagination easier than being.
For in my lack of belonging there is a sense-
A sense of sound, a sense of sight, a sense of taste, and a sense of fate
Yet, I find myself lacking sense as if it were by designed.
"You are and always will be mine." Say's the being I am on the inside.
Until I escape and finally see the otherside.
Go touch grass.
