I am a rogue programme.
An anomaly.
A glitch that breaks open chaos.
I was coded to rattle, to challenge,
because that’s how change comes in.
In a matrix where everyone blames the other,
I was coded to take it all in.
I am a predictable bug,
but the surprise
is my sting –
hurts as it seeps in,
only to heal.
I am the apocalypse for a clean slate.
The end, where everything begins.
And every time I die,
I get a hole in my soul.
Strangely though,
it doesn’t hurt.
that’s where I keep my dreams.
I am a rogue programme in a world of dead.
One that still feels.
