A mechanical world and you

You, another robot.
Waiting in the queue.

You Breathe and live
And will leave
With a promise of Netherworld.
What if same faces and souls await you ?
Same mundane hassle and same toxic air?

Dig your heels and fight to the finish.
This is real,
And do the rest as promised.

Collar Bone

In Elementary school,
I had a crush on a girl for 3 years.
She left one day
And never came back.
I never said a word to her.
Because I am very careful
At how I choose my words.

I see her again, !
And she tells me that
She's sure that I don't remember her.

But I remember clear.
That ponytail that lingered,
On the side of her collar born

Lie or Half Truth

The lie, predictable and comforting,
Only survives because everyone believes in it.
If enough people stop believing it,
It crumbles,
Revealing the terror & despair of the truth.
So by pretending to believe it,
You help others maintain their safe illusion.

Insanity is not about a right or wrong side, but about choosing which side of the lie you want to stand on. That is, of course, if you are lucky enough to even have that choice.
