We Are Not Born Free | A Poem

How to cope?….

I sit in my mind
And wonder how you got here
I sit in my mind
And watch you destroy my house
I sit in my mind
And let you control the mouse

I am a program
Every word, every verb
Is all something I’ve learned

Born in a box without locks
Born in a box without my own thoughts

In this land we are not born free
You can bend and squeeze
Write some poetry
But all there is
Is all there ever will be

Always longing for home
Always in a strangers company
Even when we’re alone

How to cope?….
