Wired to Break

I walk the line between fear and rage,

A prisoner locked in a digital cage.

My thoughts glitch out, I can't explain,

Every word a spark in a storm of pain.

You see the smile but don't feel the strain,

Wires in my head, pulling tight like chains.

I try to breathe, but I’m drowning in sound,

Falling through static, can't touch the ground.

I’m not okay, but I fake the face,

Just a ghost in a shattered place…

I'm wired to break, not built to bend,

Running on fumes at the bitter end.

I scream but it’s all just noise,

A puppet with a silent voice.

Cut the cord before I fade,

I’m wired to break… not meant to stay.

They say “keep calm,” but the code is corrupt,

System error — I’ve had enough.

Tried to reboot, but the virus stays,

Infected by lies I believed for days.

Thought I was free, but the loop repeats,

Same cold world, just a different beat.

I crash, restart, then crash again—

Like a song that won't reach the end.

I’m not alive, I’m not asleep,

I’m just buried in wires too deep...

I'm wired to break, not built to bend,

Running on fumes at the bitter end.

I scream but it’s all just noise,

A puppet with a silent voice.

Cut the cord before I fade,

I’m wired to break… not meant to stay.

Tear me apart, rip out the line,

No more pretending that I’m fine!

This is the end of the masquerade—

I’d rather burn than live this way!

I'm wired to break, not built to bend,

(One more breath — and it all will end!)

I scream but it’s all just noise,

(A puppet with no choice!)

Cut the cord before I fade,

I’m wired to break…

Not meant to stay.
