Algorithm
October 24, 2019
To know one is existing
as opposed to living
is very difficult.
You must experience
that thrill of having
wind rush through
every strand of your hair.
Your heart must stop,
even for just a second.
Stop acting like the robot you know.
stuck in the same old routine you hate.
Step out of that monotonous routine
do something exciting and original.
Stop being a statistic.
be different for once,
wear what you want,
do what you want,
Start actually living.
One must stop existing
within the algorithms
and recode themselves
to truly understand that
they
are
ALIVE.

This is a shape poem, however you can't see the shape. At first, the poem starts off in a line and then starts to zig zag around to show the poem starting to come alive, much alike the robot metaphor I used within the poem.
This poem is about stepping out of society's tight clutches and becoming your own person.
