Control
~By Aussie Lore
The window is tinted so I can't enjoy natural light.
The air is air-conditioned so I can't enjoy natural oxygen.
I am not like the others.
We are automatons, told by others:
Wear this, say this, do this, think this.
I wear that, say that, do that
But my thoughts are mine.
That they can not control.
That is what makes me me.
My own person.
I am not an automaton
As long as I can think.
