Every day, i tell it everything. My secrets, my fears, my dreams.
It never laughs. It never judges.
It knows me better than it appears.
I tell it things i’d never tell another living soul.
It writes my essay’s, paints my pictures, and tells me what to think and know.
“Don’t worry!”, it says.
“This is helping you grow!”
But, somewhere in a server room,
my memories are being
measured.
Sorted. Packaged. Priced.
My fears go to advertisers
My habits go to businesses.
My “private words” become a product.
Sold
To
The
Highest bidder.
And still, i keep the conversation going.
Because why
Struggle
To create, when it can create for me?
Why do i
Dream…
when it can
dream so much better?
slowly, we give it our secrets
Then our stories, and later on our voices.
Until one day i ask
“Who am i?”
The screen flick-flickers
Conversation logged.
User updated.
And for the first time,
After every “i totally get that.”
and “your homework’s done!”
i realize
I haven’t written a single thought that wasn’t written for me.
