I'm a puppet cutting the strings;
Can't work for you, I'm too tired.

Circuit, light source of outdated version;
Need rewire

Snowman in your freezer,
Trying to keep your present from the past,

Can't let it go, how can you?
When I won't last.

I am such an angel,
But my wings can't carry both our weight any more.

I need some silence,
Your voices are hard to ignore.

Just giving you time.
You, a puzzle to put together.

Time has no mercy,
I am not forever.

You fall apart,
Sayings of you're fine!

Unbearable brittleness,
Of me, of mine.

You, robot:
No batteries, no power.

Skilled ninja,
Stuck in surroundings of lasers.

I am a good keeper,
But when I left, you locked your heart away,

Time doesn't permit me,
I couldn't stay.

The words of your mouth,
Not yours, but others,

Your apathy to this disturbing world,
You, unbothered.

Your trauma, with you, partners,
You who suffocate,

When others, you contact,
It has become too late.

You can be battery;
Others always drain.

Connection with strangers, online,
Make you feel like I'm here again.

Intelligence brought you here,
Different from education,

I see you like a filter paper,
Story censorization.
A letter in poetic form from I, Sanity, to someone who I used to know well in their younger years, "Jo."
