i've had too much freedom
i want to take refuge in algorithms and principles
to say: 'the evidence is there, see for yourself'
where right is right and denominators determine value
infinity can leave me well enough alone
i'm tired of forever
i want boxes and corners
edges
circles are for titans
i'm simply too weak
too scared to look over cliff edges and swing from high branches
i want my feet to take root
anchored to the same place forevermore
knowing that up and down can no longer be inverted
i worship them
those who can see with blindfolds on
who make pathways through the clutter
but i am not them
i wasn't born a superhero
i'm no god
i want stitches to form from the poking and pulling of my needle
a straight and even line
i'm tired of pretending to be something i'm not
