Forever,
everywhere.

The reason I can’t escape
is not because someone is binding me.
Everywhere, there is the taste of sweetness—
artificial, yet intensely stimulating.

It seeps into my loneliness,
my loneliness
is being numbed.

My loneliness
is being disguised,
my loneliness
is being blurred.

“You will surely repeat it again,
today, tomorrow, and the day after.
Once you become a cog,
you no longer need to think,
and you can even believe
that you are irreplaceable.”

Synthetic emotions in a synthetic world.
Passive sensations in a predatory society.

I can no longer see
my loneliness.
I no longer understand
my loneliness.

Forever,
everywhere.
Until now,
from now on.

The reason I can’t escape
is not because someone holds me back.
I keep dreaming
that someday, somewhere, someone
will give me a trigger.

Someone who will
embrace my loneliness.
My loneliness
will fade away.

I am dreaming
through my loneliness.
I am breaking down
from loneliness.
