I Only Am Who They Want Me To Be

I was a dreamer. I would have made it far into this world on nothing but a cloud. Breathing new life into those who wanted rid of their old. But they don't like that. That is what they will make sure they prevent. They will, instead, barrage my mind with so much useless information and force me to hold it in, and instead of being the creative me, I will be who they want me to be. They say it will help us, we will use it all in due time, I know the truth behind it all. If we went wild with imagination then America would be full of great people, and because the great wanted to feel special they push our ideas out by forcing us with new ideas. Ideas that will one day empty out into a computer while in a cubicle. Where is the fun in that? Break away. Be the different one. Everyone will think you are weird, that is only because they are apart of some robotic scam, and they will all march along. They only pay any attention to what has been told to them. "You will learn this, but to make you feel free you get to choose this." In the end, its all under their control. Their power. Their sovereignty. We will all just sit there staring at useless texts until we die off. Then they replace us an the cycle restarts. I'm not doing that, and I'm telling you not to either. This is your life. You get one life. Average 64.3 years. You will waste around 24, maybe more, getting lectured on information, most of it you will never need. Then another 36 on using the little information you needed inside of a box with no creativity. Imagination. Excitement. Then you will just retire, and in a few years die. If it was a choice to break away I would, but its law now. I never needed this. The only thing I needed, but will never get again, was a cloud.

 I wish I was a child again. Careless. Fearless. Creative. Imaginative. What a wonderful life it was, but I... We... will never have again. "To the children, the future of our nation. May they become mindless like the rest of us, controlled by those deemed fit to do so."
