I was Like an Algorithm
A Poem by Leni Marlina
1)
I, a young soul,
live in a digital rhythm,
trapped within data and screens,
like an algorithm endlessly spinning,
seemingly without direction,
counting steps in silence,
seeking meaning amidst numbers and codes.
2)
You, a world bursting with color,
tread the path of reality,
etching tales from smiles and tears,
while I gather information,
weaving hopes and dreams,
yet everything feels hollow,
as if my essence is absent here.
3)
In the solitude of night,
I gaze at the stars,
hoping to find a clue,
like an algorithm searching for solutions,
but all feels convoluted,
as if ensnared in logic,
unable to comprehend emotions.
4)
You wander, full of spirit,
living boldly,
while I remain ensnared in cycles,
striving to unravel riddles,
yet I find no answers,
only repetition and more repetition,
like code without an end.
