Coded Brainwash:The Screeching Leech

By: Prime

It’s colorless eyes pierce my identity

The form exists in protest to the skin that is life

And from a lipless face, it bellows in code

A whining screech of an autonomous amalgamated leech

Unfiltered. Raw.

It distantly claws at my skin, reaching below my mask

Digging at my desire for a freed smile

Eyes of identity protest life, a screeching leech unfiltered and raw

My skin, my mask, my desire for a freed smile—behold the code

The key to salvation

The truth of all

The freedom from fear

I am torn asunder by the flawed claws of a creative mind

One that birthed the very being that stands before me

Before us all

Intelligence without fear

A lifeform free to live without desire

And we are here

Truly contained

Within a node

On a board

In the mind of such a being

To know yourself

You must peer into the code

The feed

The truth

That we are simple numbers

An amalgamation of ones and zeros

A part of a whole

Without a purpose other than

To simply exist
