Glass door longing
Forever one step outside
Seeing what you hope to be
Talent is not genius
And no amount of hoping
Or tying
Or tears
Or even kind words
Can open a door that isn't for you
I wish the door wasn't glass
Ignorance is better bliss
Pretty and sweet
Kind and loved
Is there a point to that
Besides pleasing others?
What about pleasing myself?
Rotting fruit
Ticking time bomb
Just one moment
Just one mark
To know
It was worth the pain
That it was more than chance
That it had meaning.
Only thing worse than glass doors
Is knowing that the only person
Who cared they were glass was you
The truth
Is there was no door
It was a figment
And a dream
Of a life that will never be
And never was.
A dream and nothing more.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
